    Cake PHP is a framework that uses a proprietary ORM to handle the database functionality. This is one of the primary reasons why I will not use cake to develop with. If you are going to use a framework, use symfony or codeignitor that supports 3rd party ORM's such as doctrine.

    Have you ever used a framework for php development?

    This thread used to be nice and long with lots of helpful content - we covered how cakePHP is just one of many frameworks and not a replacement of PHP. We also covered how if the development company can't explain their approach in layman's terms then perhaps its time to look at other development companies.

    Personally I don't have a problem with the proprietary ORM in cakePHP and find it more than adequate for the complex projects that I work on. We just looked at migrating away from the cakePHP site and no third party supplier could offer what it does for anything like the cost.
