Can I use Perl CGI::Sessions data in PHP?

I'm using Perl's CGI::Session with MySQL. No problems there.

I want to incorporate some other languages, most notably PHP, to use the same session cookie. How would I do that?

Almost the entire site is in Perl, but I want to use free PHP things, like forums and mediawiki, and still use the same session cookie.

If you use CGI::Session, you could change the serializer to YAML, and then use PHP to parse YAML.

Alternatively, if you find YAML parsing difficult, you could write your own serializer for CGI::Session, e.g. using JSON, which you can more easily parse. Than you would just use the same session id in PHP as the one you use in Perl.

You could use the PHP::Session module. Check out Using Perl Code from PHP for other ideas.

I've never tried this, but see the session_set_save_handler function. Some frameworks (like CakePHP) use this to store the session in a database. Maybe you could write some code to use the same session as perl, prepending this script to your forum, wiki, etc.
