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.
