Right.  Atif's example could look like this:

<?
define('HOMEPAGE_BASE', dirname(__FILE__));
require HOMEPAGE_BASE . '/../config/horde.php';
require HOMEPAGE_BASE . '/../lib/Horde.php';
require HOMEPAGE_BASE . '/../lib/Prefs.php';

$_server_name=preg_replace("/www\./", "", $SERVER_NAME);
$_user_name=str_replace('.', "_", $_server_name);

$prefs = Prefs::factory($conf['prefs']['driver'] , "" ,
                        $_user_name, "", $conf['prefs']['params']); 
?>
