CakePHP and the Zend Framework are rapid development frameworks for PHP that provide an extensible architecture for developing, maintaining, and deploying applications. Using commonly known design patterns like MVC and ORM within the convention over configuration paradigm, reduces both development costs and helps developers write less code.
