Re: How to access Cake Session Variables from a Stand Alone PHP script
We have hybrid legacy application/cake application and do this
frequently. Here's how I do it:
In my core.php:
define('CAKE_SESSION_SAVE', 'php');
define('CAKE_SESSION_COOKIE', 'PHPSESSID'); #This is the default PHP
cookie name, if you changed the default make this match
define('CAKE_SECURITY', 'medium'); # We were having probelms with cake
constantly regenerating the cookie. This stops that.
In the legacy apps just call session_start()
I think setting session_name to that string in the core.php file is a
mistake. We don't do that. Setting CAKE_SESSION_COOKIE is sufficient
for php to find the cookie that has the session id of the session
store.
Good luck. Integrating legacy code with cake code can be tricky, but
it can be done.

Re: How to access Cake Session Variables from a Stand Alone PHP script
Well providing your are starting your session and using the same
session id, then you should be able to access CURRENT_USER.
I am not sure if this will work with database sessions.

How to access Cake Session Variables from a Stand Alone PHP script
Hi All,
Can anyone letme know, how to access the cakesession variables from a stand
alone script. I have tried something like this and its not working. I have
placed php script directly under var/www/html/test.php and and cake
application under var/www/html/vhosts/cakeexample.
once if i login to my application and and try to run this script, i still
get Not Okay, that i am unable to access the cake's session variables. In
Core.php i have set define('CAKE_SESSION_SAVE', 'php');
Does anyone know how can we access the session variables from this
standalone script. I think i have missed out something in php script or need
to add/edit in core.php file.
It would be very helpful , if anyone has a solution for this.
Thanks in Advance
Bharath kumar
