How to access session of a php application via another laravel application which hosted in same domain?

Question

I have a php application (Non Laravel) hosted on domain.loc.

I need to access the session data of that to login to another application which is developed using Laravel and hosted in same domain (it's address is 'domain.loc/testing').

domain.loc -- [Non Laravel App]

domain.loc/testing -- [Laravel App]

Is there any possible way to access a session of non-laravel application in a laravel application without using token-based authentication.

Or is there anyway where we can authenticate a laravel application via a non-laravel application ?

Add session_start() at the beginning of the index.php file found in the public folder. This will "resume" the php session.

After that you can access the session using the php superglobal $_SESSION['foo'] in your laravel app.

Thank you Angad. It worked. Does this affect Laravel session or can we use both without any issues?

@IsuruBuddhika This will not affect the Laravel session.
