Hi there! We're on the same boat. I'm also using CakePHP and phpBB. I haven't really touched sessions part but I'm sure I'll be needing to verify the identity of the phpBB user in my CakePHP apps. ^_^
As far as I know, phpBB doesn't store its sessions using php $_SESSION. It uses cookies. Normally they would be contained in: $_COOKIE['phpbb2mysql_data'] and $_COOKIE['phpbb2mysql_sid']. Try doing this inside you're Cake app (make sure you are logged in phpBB) print_r(unserialize($_COOKIE['phpbb2mysql_data'])); You should be seeing autologinid and user_id. I'm planning to start from here. Maybe I'll try to read the cookie then start a CakePHP session from the data that I'll get. I'll post here for updates if I'd be successful or not. :P Hope I gave you some idea :) ax0rz wrote: > Hey!
