The easiest way to do it would be to leverage the vendors folder.
CakePHP allows you to easily integrate outside classes this way. All
you have to do is pop your class file(s) into the vendors folder and
then you can reference them from within your CakePHP code. However, It
may require some refactoring on your part in order to make the form's
code fully object-oriented (if it is not already).... and if you have
to go to that extent, you might as well re-implement it in cake
anyway.
But if you want to proceed in this manner, then it would simply be a
matter of making a controller in cake, write a function like
"showform", and then call a function to display the form from your
class.
function showform() {
$this->autoRender = false; // This will turn off cake's default
behavior to render a view for the action
$myForm = new MyFormClass();
$myForm->renderForm();
}
Good luck,
James
