session sharing between cf & php

[Greg Bryant]

I'm trying to extend an existing site written in CF. We're going to move
it to PHP at some point in the near future, but in the meantime, I'd like
to add some minor new features, and can steal them quickly from other sites
I have in PHP. So far, everything's cool except the session variables
holding username, userid, etc. Is there a way to "share" that session? CF
is using session.userid as a variable to store the info, but I don't seem
to get it in $_SESSION['userid'].

Thanks,
Greg

PHP allows user-defined session storage handlers; if you can't get CF to read
PHP session files, you could write PHP session handlers to interact with
however CF stores sessions.
