PHP FRAMEWORKS
PHP
Frameworks
✤
What is a framework?
✤
code that helps you write
apps faster.
✤
defines a rigid development
workflow
✤
implies that you code to a
standard
✤
supplies helpers to aid in
rapid development
PHP
Frameworks
✤
What makes a good
framework?
✤
well over 20 style of PHP
frameworks (much to choose
from)
✤
must be easy to learn
✤
simple to use
✤
intuitive to work with
✤
easy to extend and modify
(must be stable)
✤
aid in rapid development and
maintenance.
✤
must have a dev community

✤
Active, friendly community
✤
Flexible licensing
Why Use One?
✤
Compatible with versions PHP 5.2.6 and greater.
✤
Integrated CRUD for database interaction.
✤
Application scaffolding.
✤
Code generation.
✤
MVC architecture.
✤
Request dispatcher with clean, custom URLs and
routes.
✤
Built-in validation.
✤
Fast and flexible templating (PHP syntax, with
helpers).
✤
View Helpers for AJAX, JavaScript, HTML Forms
and more.
✤
Email, Cookie, Security, Session, and Request
Handling Components.
✤
Flexible ACL.
✤
Data Sanitization.
✤

directory, with little to no Apache configuration
involved.
MVC
✤
A software design pattern that allows separation of
data (model) and the user interface (view).
✤
Model (Data Layer)
✤
✤
View (user interface)
✤
✤
database logic. data wrappers. security.
Renders the model into a form suitable for
interaction, typically a user interface element
Controller (manages interactions)
✤
Processes and responds to events, typically
user actions, and may invoke changes on the
model.
CakePHP
✤
Some of the things Cake does so you don’t have to:
✤
eases creation of standard content management
functionality (adding, editing and deleting)
✤
uses template-like Layouts and Views to
separate logic from presentation
✤
validates form fields
✤
automatically escapes data saved to the
database (to prevent SQL injection attacks)
✤
includes callbacks (eg do an action before or
after save)
✤
allows for both test and production databases
CakePHP in
Action
✤
Using cakePHP’s scaffolding to create a simple
webapp that tracks bookmarks
✤
1. Set up your database (use db conventions)
✤
2. Set up your model.
✤
3. Set up your controller.
✤
4. Set up view (optional)
