Administrators Nathan Posted July 24, 2012 Administrators Share Posted July 24, 2012 Why is this different from regular PHP? I assume it's functions that are created already then you call them so it's a lot less code to create web applications? What the best resource to learn from?

Marc Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Cake php is a framework for php, best place to learn it is actually their own site http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Nathan Posted July 24, 2012 Author Administrators Share Posted July 24, 2012 Would you use this over just plain PHP on anything? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redinit Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Would you use this over just plain PHP on anything? It's a set of classes written in PHP that you would use in PHP applications. It saves you time so you don't have to write code, its already there, such as templating, authentication, DB abstraction, etc.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Nathan Posted July 24, 2012 Author Administrators Share Posted July 24, 2012 Yeah after looking I'm just not seeing the point, I just started to grasp mysql and php. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redinit Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Say you want to build a car, you could: A.) Buy every part individually, and build it (without CakePHP) OR B.) You could buy a motor, frame, body, and build it with very few loose parts (with CakePHP) Why is this different from regular PHP? I assume it's functions that are created already then you call them so it's a lot less code to create web applications? In a nutshell, yes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
__Darknite Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 As Marc and redinit has pointed out CakePHP is a web "framework" however the Major point around CakePHP is that it is an MVC framework. MVC is (Model, View, Controller) software design pattern. Its worth learning, as a super primer start here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/26685/what-is-mvc-and-what-are-the-advantages-of-it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Nathan Posted July 25, 2012 Author Administrators Share Posted July 25, 2012 Alright guys thanks for the information, so at this point looks like I'm going to rewrite what I have so far with CakePHP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHTech100 Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 I haven't used CakePHP specifically before, but it really makes things easier. Instead of me spending hours of the working on a database class, then this, then that, I can just get straight to work with the important classes. Plus, it gives me working code (PHP often just doesn't like me). Myself, I use FuelPHP because of the docs and the enormous amount of features. For smaller projects, you may want to look into Laravel. Its Blade template engine blew my mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bravosi Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 (edited) Personally I'm familiar with regular PHP, but never heard of CakePHP. After some research I realized that it is a framework for PHP. Long story short, CakePHP is an open-source web, rapid development framework that makes building web applications simpler.

johnv5 Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 CakePHP is an open-source web framework. It follows the model-view-controller (MVC) approach and is written in PHP, modeled after the concepts of Ruby on Rails, and distributed under the MIT License. CakePHP uses well-known software engineering concepts and software design patterns, such as convention over configuration, model-view-controller, active record, association data mapping, and front controller.
