Many of its critics are true at some extent. PHP has no defined structure or organization. This makes coders to express themselves free and haphazard ways and may happens dangerous ways like programming logic mixed with the presentation elements, inclusion of other source files anywhere in the codes, unwanted and often missed database connections, etc. These are some mistakes makes PHP code unmanaged.
New versions of PHP are gaining a gradual advancement. It evolves like other programming languages like C++ and Java by allowing Object Orient Programming and other elements in it. These all leads developers to think of developing some frame work for this inherently unstructured language to make it more viable and advance one.
Plenty of examples are available to draw an outline of the frame work for the PHP. They have their own set of rules, conventions, achievements and failures. Among them Ruby and Rails present a model which best fits and suitable for PHP to work like the other advanced languages like C++ and Java.
Among the many developers one developer had decided to borrow the structure and basic concepts from the Ruby and Rails and he was the founder of the CakePHP language. He finally borrowed structural concepts from the Rails. This made Cake PHP different and most famous structure of the PHP.
Cake PHP development is based on MVC framework and MVC framework gives strict guarantee for the separation of the business logics to the data presentation layers.
Apart from MVC framework Cake PHP 5.3 has some other features includes:
Like Rails, Cake PHP makes it easier for the user to interface with the database with the active record pattern.
