CakePHP is basically Ruby On Rails written in PHP. I chose to implement CakePHP instead of RoR because I didn’t want to shop hosting for such a small client project.
It’s quite functional – my friend with CakePHP experience convinced me to go for 1.2 Beta instead of the stable version because he’s already running it on production sites. Documentation is a bit lacking, but googling can get you to places. Most of the basic tutorials are 1.1 stuff so you will have to know a couple of things to be able to use them with 1.2.
If you want to give CakePHP a spin, here are couple of links:
