CakePHP is a PHP web framework that lets you create complex applications smoothly by making your work simpler.

Building your scalable web application

CakePHP follows a MVC (Model –View- Controller) approach that lets you write applications with less coding and development efforts. It divides the construction of the software into three layers allowing developers to focus on their expertise rather than worry about redundant development hassles.

It makes the whole development process simpler. Besides reducing the coding efforts, this flexible architecture enables developers to write highly scalable applications.

CakePHPhas built-in support for ORM (Object Relational Mapping). CakePHP’s ORM implementations are based upon ActiveRecord and Datamapper patterns.

When the ORM conventions are used in the development of your application the scalability and performance of your application can be dramatically improved.
These features also provide a very good extensibility to your applications.
