September 28, 201015 yr Has anyone heard of and used cakephp. The Url for the dev site is cakephp.org The reason that I ask is because I don't see how it works or what it actually is. My guess is that is just a library of custom functions that you can call into your scripts but I may be well off the mark.
September 28, 201015 yr Use codeigniter, similar to cakephp are php frameworks. They are meant to speed up development. In codeigniter there are pre written classes that alow you to validate forms, database classes etc. I think cakephp also has an auth system. The framework uses an MVC architecture which splits the logic and views.
September 28, 201015 yr I used CakePHP for about a year (not by choice), its designed to be a full stack framework so you cant really just call on its functions from within your existing code, you need to use their controller architecture (which is not really a bad thing). Personally I use Zend Framework with Doctrine. Symfony is also worth a mention, a lot of PHP developers are getting excited about symfony v2.
