I managed to do a hack (and there where no other way to do that).

The hack is you need to put the "function __()" inside in line 93 of Magento app/code/core/Mage/Core/functions.php

    if (!function_exists('__')) {
        function _ () { .... }
    }

and you need to do the same for "DS" in app/Mage.php line 23

    if(!defined('DS')) {}

then you can just use the Mage class and do all the operation to Megento.

can make the Mage class working for me in pure php code with the above example. But you know Cakephp has its own routing mechanism. I have magento installed in the root and trying to add another application built with cakephp - that application has its own data structure & database (mainly be used for custom reporting and some tracking stuffs) but will share some data from magento (that is the main site)

Yes, it can. For example:

require_once 'app/Mage.php';
umask(0);

Mage::app();
Mage::getSingleton('core/session', array('name'=>'frontend'));

$cart = Mage::helper('checkout/cart')->getCart()->getItemsCount();
echo 'Items count: ' . $cart;
