Is it possible to access php $_SESSION variables in a cgi/ruby script?

Question

Title pretty much speaks for itself. Is there a simple way to do this? I was thinking of just writing the data stored in the session variable to a temp file then having the ruby script read the data from the file, but that seems kind of dumb. Is there a better way to do this?

Well, that's exactly how PHP sessions work by default: using temp files. — Álvaro González

This question seems to have been already addressed: Sharing a session between Ruby and PHP

I saw that thread and was hoping there was a simpler way, but it doesn't sound like there is... I'll check it out.

IMHO, the cleanest mechanism would be to write a custom PHP session handler that:

Stores data to a database (rather than files)
Serializes data to a format known by Ruby, possibly JSON
