Re: Using Cake models from non-cake project

It really is as simple as Felix writes. It is just that his post is
from 2006 and a few details have changed.

I just tried this on 1.2 stable and it does work:

$_GET['url'] = 'favicon.ico';
require_once('path_to_app_dir'.DS.'webroot'.DS.'index.php');
// and then for example:
$PostModel =& ClassRegistry::init('Post');
print_r( $PostModel->find('all') );

Notice:
That it is called DS now unless you use your own slashes in paths.
That your best option for brining a model to life is ClassRegistry.
You wil need to have a real Cake app to point to. It needs database
configs and (naturally) the models defined.
