Cakephp 1.2

30 April 2008 | Blogroll,cakephp,php | Tags: , ,

For a recent proof-of-concept i got back to cakephp, and due to the experimental nature of my project, i felt lucky enough to take a shot at cakephp 1.2 beta. Don’t expect a full feature roundup here, i will write more as soon as i find time.

First impressions:

  • directory layout looks the same, but the view/template extension got changed to “.ctp” (was “.thtml”)
  • scaffolding looks way better
  • it supports caching
  • tried to use postgres as db-backend: failed. it uses command structures not supported in pg
  • tried to use sqlite3: failed. used driver model and compiled-in versions were different.

Apart from these first impressions, it was install and go.
