Answer 1

As more cleaning of '@Ben Swinburne' answer:

1. Copy the CI index.php file and rename it (i.e. index_for_external_app.php).
   
   

2. Open the new PHP file (index_for_external_app.php) and then edit the following variables to the external path:

   -$application_folder  
   -$system_path  
   [i.e. $system_path = '../../system';]  
   

3. Call the created PHP file from your external system
   

   //include the CI index file within ob_start to prevent display other html
   ob_start();
   require('../../index_for_external_app.php');///You should edit this path
   ob_end_clean();
   
   //print the session variable for testing
   echo '
   ';
   print_r($_SESSION);
   echo '
   ';
