CakePHP is an open-source framework for PHP. It is intended to make developing, deploying and maintaining applications much easier. CakePHP is based on an MVC-like architecture that is both powerful and easy to grasp. Models, Views, and Controllers guarantee a strict but natural separation of business logic from data and presentation layers.
CakePHP is free. You don’t have to pay for it, you can use it any way you want. CakePHP is developed under the MIT License. CakePHP is an Open Source project, this means you have full access to the source code. The best place to get the most recent version is at the CakePHP web site (https://cakephp.org). You can also browse the latest and greatest code there.
CakePHP is developed by a hard working community of people. They come from different countries all over the world and joined together to create the CakePHP framework for the benefit of the widest audience possible. For more information about Cake’s active developer and user communities, visit https://cakephp.org.
