Cake integration with other app and session
Hi everyone,
I have an issue that I'd like people's comment(s) on. I am trying to
integrate an existing app with Cake. We are planning to move the
entire app over to Cake eventually but will have to do it in stages.
So we are planning to write new parts of the app in Cake and slowly
move old stuff over.
The problem that I was having was with sessions. It seems that Cake
closes any existing session before doing anything with sessions within
Cake. Session data from my other app is available in Cake. But session
data that I save in Cake is not available in the other app. I've got
around this by commenting out line 167 in cake/libs/session.php:
function start() {
if (function_exists('session_write_close')) {
// session_write_close(); -- this line
}
$this-__initSession();
return $this-__startSession();
}
This seems to work fine but I was wondering if any of the Cake experts
could point out any negative implications/side effects of doing this.
I would really appreciate any feedback from you guys.
Thanks in advance.
Ziad

Re: Cake integration with other app and session
I second this, I was about to post something here, when I saw this
one.
I am basically looking to integrate another applications session
system into my CakePHP application. The other application be
vbulletin. I haven't really began to see what the best way to do this
would be but comments from others would be nice at the same time,
since I believe our two questions are related. If not I will start my
own email.
Thanks,
-Erik

Re: Cake integration with other app and session
Hi Chris, Thanks for your response, that certainly goes some way towards explaining why it happens. What about my question of do you see any issue/problem with commenting out this session recreation code? I guess there is the general issue of sharing session data between two applications, but if both applications are generally secure then are there any other issues that people can see? Sorry to be somewhat pedantic about this, its just that if anyone out there can see an issue then that would save me getting too deep into this before having to pull back. Thanks again.
