It really is as simple as Felix writes. It is just that his post is from 2006 and a few details have changed.
I just tried this on 1.2 stable and it does work: $_GET['url'] = 'favicon.ico'; require_once('path_to_app_dir'.DS.'webroot'.DS.'index.php'); // and then for example: $PostModel =& ClassRegistry::init('Post'); print_r( $PostModel->find('all') ); Notice: That it is called DS now unless you use your own slashes in paths. That your best option for brining a model to life is ClassRegistry. You wil need to have a real Cake app to point to. It needs database configs and (naturally) the models defined. /Martin On Aug 30, 6:38 pm, tbirand <tbir...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Thiago, thanks for the answer.
