The ColdFusion application server does not interfere with
PHP's
application server memory and vice a versa. So no they do not
share
sessions.
That being said, there are relatively simple methods to pass
session
data back and forth. Web services or plain http request
[<cfhttp...>
and|or the PHP equivalent] would be the first things that
occur to my mind.
You'll have to take into count that while the PHP portion of
the
application is running the ColdFusion session timeout is
ticking down as
well as the reverse. If this is a concern, some type of
'heart-beat'
logic would need to be used to call code that keeps to
corresponding
session in the other application server alive.
