Re: loading cake into code

You can probably do something like this:

1. make a copy of app/webroot/index.php - call it start_cake.php or
something and put it where you can include it.
In that file:
2. alter the include paths to suit your environment so that cake can
be found.
3. remove the call to Dispatcher almost at the bottom. (you might want
to remove the timer at the very bottom also)

Just above the lines about the dispatcher and the favicon you see the
important line that "initializes" the framework:
--> if (!include(CORE_PATH . 'cake' . DS . 'bootstrap.php')) {

It is important to keep that if clause :)

Now, if you include that file you can call up a model in the way Miles
wrote.
