About

CakePHP is a rapid development framework for PHP that uses MVC, front controller, associative data mapping and active record patterns to help developers build web applications faster.

It includes an ORM and query builder, integrated scaffolding and code generation tools, built-in validation and security against XSS, CSRF, and SQL injections, flexible routing and template helpers, i18n support, caching, and a large plugin ecosystem.

Flow, formerly known as TYPO3 Flow or FLOW3, is a PHP web application framework focused on Domain-Driven Design (DDD) and clean code principles.

It offers a modular architecture, a powerful templating engine called Fluid, supports Aspect-Oriented Programming (AOP), and provides transparent object persistence.
