What would be a lot easier to do would be to
pull in the entire Magento engine into your external page. This [unlike
the rest of Magento] is pretty easy to do.
All you have to do is the following:
// Load Up Magento Core define('MAGENTO', realpath('/var/www/magento/'));
require_once(MAGENTO . '/app/Mage.php');
$app = Mage::app();
Now you can use any of the Magento objects/classes as if you were inside of Magento and get your attributes
$product = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->load(1234);
$product->getSku();
$product->getYourCustomAttribute();
etc etc.
