As soon as a web developer thinks of designing a website in PHP, they will be in a stage of dilemma which framework to use in the rich pool of framework available in PHP. One among them is CakePHP which has got various benefits and features towards web development.
Main advantage of this framework is the structure of the code. When a developer codes the logic the code will be kept separately from the user interface. This is also called model View controller which will help in categorizing the logical code from presentation and database. This also has helped many international companies for developing the complex websites. The design of the website can be carried out from one developer and the logic can be done by the other. Both can be merged at the later stages without any issues. This is an informal methodology but still the architecture of the framework is not broken.
ORM (Object Rational Mapping) is another very important feature of cakePHP. By making use of this feature developer can streamline the queries by considering the data base tables as classes. This is an object oriented concept which will help to develop the application more efficiently. Generally in standard PHP it is highly difficult to handle classes but in cakePHP it is just like a piece of cake. In cakePHP there will be directories for application’s core and app where the developer can easily configure the class inheritance. Once it is done the class can be reused at any location of the application for getting better hand on development.
When it comes to security of the website, the cakePHP will ensure it for a greater extent. Core security features and CRUD features integrated in cakePHP will allow the developer to design the submission process of the user in a highly secure manner. Customization of the form is very simple and easy by just providing a support for CRUD. CakePHP will be updated then and there when there are any features incorporated in terms of security. This will help the developers for developing the applications which is up to date with the security perspective.
Along with these major benefits of cakePHP, one can find pool of plugins and libraries which will assist for the web development of the complex website. Making use of all these we can develop a website which is highly secured and easy to update with various advanced features.
