Cake: Let PHP run on the rails, too.

Cake is a PHP framework that is structured according to Ruby on Rails. Like Ror, Cake also encapsulates operations on the database. At present, cake is not yet a mature framework, but it is worth paying attention to.

Below describes how to install cake on the wamp.

First download Cake Latest version: cake_0.2.9.zip

After decompression, enter Cakeconfig will database.php.default renamed to Database.php, and set the parameters of the database. Such as:

$DATABASE _config = Array (
' Devel ' => Array (
' Host ' => ' localhost ',
' Login ' => ' user ',
' Password ' => ' user ',
' Database ' => ' cake '
)
);

Then cake need to use the Apache mod_rewrite, open Apache's/config/httpd.conf, will

#LoadModule Rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so

Before the # number is removed,

Will

#AddModule mod_rewrite.c

Before the # number removed.

Then add a virtual host, such as

<virtualhost *>
ServerAdmin Easy@gmail.com
DocumentRoot "f:/cake/"
ServerName cake.com
ErrorLog Logs/cake.com.error_log
Customlog logs/cake.my.com Common
</VirtualHost>

<directory "f:/cake/" >
AllowOverride All
Order Allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

Join a row of local host in c:windowssystem32driversetchosts

127.0.0.1 cake.com

Then restart Apache and the browser.

At this time cake has been able to work properly. Let's create an application:

Create a table in the database

CREATE TABLE posts (    ID INT UNSIGNED auto_increment PRIMARY KEY,    title VARCHAR (), Body    TEXT,    created DA Tetime default NULL,    modified DATETIME default null); INSERT into posts (title,body,created)     VALUES (' title ', ' This is the post body. ', Now (): INSERT into posts (title,body,created)     VALUES (' A title once again ', ' and the ' post Bo DY follows. ', now ()]; INSERT into posts (title,body,created)     VALUES ("title Strikes Back", ' This is really exciting! Not. ', now ());

。

Cake is based on the MVC pattern. When creating an application, we first create its model.

app/models/post.php;? Phpclass Post extends Appmodel {}?>
And then create control
app/controllers/posts_controller.php;? Phpclass Postscontroller extends AppController {}?>
Add the index method to:
app/controllers/posts_controller.php (fragment) function index () {}
Last CREATE View
app/views/posts/index.thtml<table><tr>    <th>ID</th>    <th>title </th>    <th>Created</th></tr>? PHP foreach ($this->post->find_all () as $post):?><tr>    <td><?= $post [' ID ']?> </td>    <td><?= $this->link_for ($post [' title '], "/posts/view/{$post [' ID ']}"?> </td>    <td><?= $post [' Created ']?> </td></tr>] PHP Endforeach?></table>
Such an application is complete.
Enter Http://cake.com/posts/index to access the program we just created.
