MVC Architecture
Understand models, controllers, templates and the request-response flow in a CakePHP application.
Online CakePHP Training for Practical PHP Development
CakePHP is a PHP framework that helps developers build web applications with conventions, reusable components and a structured MVC architecture. Its ORM supports working with database records through application models, while routing and controllers organise how requests are handled.
This learning path covers the main concepts involved in building database-driven applications, from project setup and routes to templates, validation, relationships and practical CRUD workflows. The examples and exercises should be aligned to the CakePHP version used in your project.
Understand MVC architecture and conventions
Create routes, controllers and templates
Use ORM for database-backed features
Build practical forms and CRUD workflows
Version matters: CakePHP versions can differ in setup commands, APIs and conventions. Share the version you need so examples and project exercises can be planned appropriately.
