Sharing Cakephp session

Question

Is it possible to share cakephp session between cake applications of different version.I have two applications having cake1.3 and cake2.3 respectively.Kindly answer.

Answer 1

Yes, that's possible using database sessions. You need to create a database table:

CREATE TABLE cake_sessions (
  id varchar(255) NOT NULL default '',
  data text,
  expires int(11) default NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY  (id)
);

And in core.php (CakePHP 2.x) set:

// Location /app/Config/core.php
Configure::write('Session', array(
    'defaults' => 'database'
));

On CakePHP 1.3, set:

// Location /app/config/core.php
Configure::write('Session.save', 'database');
