Requesting your experience, comments, insight, etc. on CakePHP, thanks. (BTW, you can go into details, I'm not a 16 year old copypasta script kiddie.)

In that case, maybe you could also make a proper introduction of the subject. I'm pretty sure a lot of people have no idea what you're talking about, but would be interested if they did.

It's a PHP framework similar to Ruby on Rails. http://phpcake.org/

Sorry, wrong link, http://cakephp.org/ is what I meant.

Sorry. Yeah, it's an idiomatic port of Ruby on Rails for PHP (a MVC-based framework for rapid web applications development). It looks pretty good and pretty clean, and I would like to hear Anonymous' experience if he/she has worked with it for a long time.

I've actually looked through the code of it, and there are parts of it that I find a tad excessive. Live if you name your model "Tags" then it will automatically associate it with a controller class called "TagController" and it will associate it with a particular 'tag' table in the db... But all of this is done through functions that try to 'singularize' a plural word, or 'pluralize' a singular word.

I think this is a little much to run through in a webapp. If it was something that was run through just once, that's fine. But this is run through a lot. I don't like this trade-off of inefficiency in order to make things easier.

Wow. Someone thought that was actually a good idea when they wrote that?

Meh.

Yeah, I noticed that when I tried it. I thought it was silly (I would just calle everything Tag), but overall acceptable. After all, if you're in for maximum performance, don't use a framework. (That's not to say let's waste it happily, but these are small, relatively inoffensive functions.)

The problem is that the functions change between singular and plural running an array of RegEx strings through preg_* functions.

They do a good job of allowing you to customize things. Some of the classes have empty functions that are Before<action> After<action> which are called before and after an action. So you can overload them in a sub-class if you need something to happen before or after a delete is preformed, for example.
