CakePHP is an open source web application framework written in PHP. It has features that make prototype building faster such as code generation and scaffolding. It also has built-in features like translation, database access, caching, validation, and authentication. CakePHP's MVC structure and friendly licensing make it suitable for both personal and commercial use. It also keeps applications secure through features like input validation, XSS and CSRF prevention, and protection against SQL injection and form tampering.
