Introducing Cake PHP

Cake is a structure of libraries, classes and run-time infrastructure for PHP programmers. It's also what It's original author, Michal uses at work. It's based on certain conventions, so you may find it rigid at first. The directory structure is already laid out, and it's different from what most people use. From what We've experienced, a great many PHP programmers start as web- or graphic-designers, i.e. they are not university-educated programmers as many in C++ and Java-land. They invent their own, peculiar ways of solving problems and stick to them. Perhaps that's why so few people use linkOut('PEAR', 'http://pear.php.net')?> and linkOut('PECL', 'http://pecl.php.net')?> libraries – they don't usually re-use their code.

Cake PHP builds on a concept introduced in linkOut('Ruby on Rails', 'http://rubyonrails.com')?> – it enables rapid developement of feature-rich websites.

Features

• Compatibile with PHP4 and PHP5.
• Supplies integrated CRUD for databases.
• Pretty URL's that work with and without mod_rewrite.
• Fast, flexible templating (PHP syntax with helper methods).
• Suported database-types: MySQL, PostgreSQL and SQLIte
• Suported webservers: Apache (others will most likely also work)

Cake is still in its early infancy, but we are proceeding in good direction – table joins will most probably get added in 0.9.3 release, and better support for user-defined settings is also underway.
