accessing cakephp session variable from webroot

I have a cakephp application also I have another chat application (non cake) so in order to access the chat application, I placed it under app/webroot. From cake, after login, I am setting the session using this->Session->write method. How can I get this session values from the php script that placed in chat application ?

you should put it in the same level as app/ since is not cake, putting in webroot is not recomended :S. Read Rikesh comment and try doing that

still you may access your variables as always... CakePhp IS PHP so every $this->Session->write(); you use it will be in the $_SESSION superglobal variable.

how do you access it 

session_name("CAKEPHP");
session_start();
$_SESSION['variable'];

The session_name is the name you give to your session if none is given you may skip that instruction. If it is used, use the same name, i think the cakephp default is CAKEPHP.

(can be found out by debug(session_name());)

If you don't know the variable part try using var_dump($_SESSION); to see what you have

Usually cake saves the auth data in $_SESSION['Auth']

Hope this helps you :)
