CakePHP framework

CakePHP is a rapid development framework for PHP which uses commonly known design patterns like Active Record, Association Data Mapping, Front Controller and MVC. Our primary goal is to provide a structured framework that enables PHP users at all levels to rapidly develop robust web applications, without any loss to flexibility.

Installing CakePHP via composer

You can install CakePHP into your project using composer. If you're starting a new project, we recommend using the app skeleton as a starting point. For existing applications you can add the following to your composer.json file:

"require": {
    "cakephp/framework": "dev-3.0"
}

And run php composer.phar update
