file_get_contents won't ever work with sessions because it's the server getting contents, not the client's computer. So the session would be a single server session. User::isLoggedIn() was meant to be used with $wgUser, as in. You're logged in if "$wgUser->isLoggedIn();" returns true. It's not meant to detect if an other user is logged in, because that's a technical impossibility. Since you're including the WebStart, perhaps you should try using $wgUser.

Spoke too soon. The test script responds to being logged in or logged out, but calling it from a different script using file_get_contents isn't working.

It looks like detecting login may be even easier. I'm seeing stuff in $_REQUEST that may work without even adding scripts to the wiki.

All users regardless of whether they are logged in or not have a user ID (anonymous == user id 0) so the only check that needs to be made is whether the user id is a positive integer.
From what I can tell, $user->isLoggedIn returns the userid in the database, but $_SESSION['wsUserID'] behaves as you describe, changing from 0 to 1 and back when I log in or out. Interestingly, it seems to not care if I'm viewing the wiki from different browsers, while MW itself recognizes them as different sessions. I think I can live with that.
Now I just have to get the blog to be able to send a logout to both itself and the wiki, which I'm guessing I can do by overwriting $_SESSION['wsUserID'].
Thanks!
