Summary: This is a CakePHP cheat sheet. (Note: This reference was initially created in 2011, and may be slightly out of date.)
As I embark on another CakePHP project after a long hiatus, I'm trying to cram CakePHP back into my head. As part of this effort, I'm creating this large CakePHP cheat sheet (reference page), which I hope will be helpful to the CakePHP community. It is based on both the CakePHP cheat sheet on their Trac website and the CakePHP Cookbook (see the links below).
(Go ahead and say what you will about me, but I happen to like all my CakePHP examples on one big page like this that I can search, rather than spread out across many different pages. That's what a cheat sheet is, right? Also, please note that there are very few ads on this page, besides the standard ads on the side columns.)
CakePHP Default Directory Structure
This is what the CakePHP directory structure looks like by default:
/app app_controller.php app_model.php /config acl.ini.php bootstrap.php core.php databases.php inflections.php routes.php /controllers /components your_components_here.php your_controllers_here.php /locale /eng /models /behaviors your_behaviors_here.php your_models_here.php /plugins /tests /cases /behaviors /components /controllers /helpers /models /fixtures /groups /tmp /vendors /views /helpers your_views_here.ctp /webroot /css /files /js /cake cake_core_files_are_in_here /docs release_notes_here /vendors
CakePHP Naming Conventions
This is a list of the CakePHP naming conventions, specifically the CakePHP Model, View, and Controller naming conventions.
CakePHP Models
- class names are singular
- class names UpperCamelCased
- filenames use a lower-case underscored syntax
- database tables are plural underscored
- set var $name in your model definition (PHP4)
CakePHP Controllers
- class names are plural
- class names are UpperCamelCased for multi-word controllers
- class names also end with 'Controller'
- file names use a lower-case underscored syntax
- file names also end with '_controller.php'.
CakePHP Views
- views are in folders that match controller
- view folders are plural underscored
- views are named after actions they display.
- name the view file after action name, in lowercase.
CakePHP naming conventions - Examples
Assuming we have a database table named orders, the following standard CakePHP naming conventions should be used:
Model filename = order.php classname = Order directory = app/models View filename = (same as the action name in the controller) extension = .ctp (the filename extension) directory = app/views/orders Controller filename = orders_controller.php classname = OrdersController directory = app/controllers
Assuming we have a database table named order_items, the following standard CakePHP naming conventions should be used:
Model filename = order_item.php classname = OrderItem directory = app/models View filename = (same as the action name in the controller) extension = .ctp (the filename extension) directory = app/views/order_items Controller filename = order_items_controller.php classname = OrderItemsController directory = app/controllers
CakePHP bake Command Examples
Here are some CakePHP bake examples (cake bake examples):
cake bake cake bake controller cake bake model cake bake view cake bake project cake bake controller orders cake bake model order
CakePHP Foreign Key Examples and Relationship Types
From the CakePHP Cookbook, there are four possible CakePHP relationship types:
Relationship Association Type Example one to one hasOne A user has one profile. one to many hasMany A user can have multiple recipes. many to one belongsTo Many recipes belong to a user. many to many hasAndBelongsToMany Recipes have, and belong to many tags.
Further details on these relationships can be found at the CakePHP Cookbook pages:
CakePHP relationship type examples:
# in a Post model class:
# each Post belongs to a User
var $belongsTo = array('User');
# TODO
var $hasOne ...
# in the User model
var $hasMany = array('Post');
# TODO
var $hasAndBelongsToMany
The CakePHP recursive attribute
The CakePHP recursive attribute affects how CakePHP retrieves data, in particular when there are associations between database tables. (I normally indicate these associations with foreign key relationships, but I've also seen applications not indicate foreign key relationships in the database, but just deal with them in the software that is written.)
For instance, the CakePHP Cookbook includes an example of a blog database, and this database is built upon in the excellent book, Beginning CakePHP
The CakePHP recursive attribute tells the model how far to look when pulling associated rows.
The CakePHP recursive attribute can be set to the following integer values, with the following meanings:
Value Meaning
-1 returns only the current model, and ignores all associations.
0 returns the current model, plus its owner(s).
1 returns the current model, its owner(s), plus their associated models.
2 returns the current model, its owner(s), their associated models,
and the associated models of any associations.
In a simple controller index() method, the recursive attribute may be used like this:
function index()
{
$this->Post->recursive = 0;
$this->set('posts', $this->paginate);
}
TODO - add other recursive examples here
CakePHP find Conditions
One of the things you have to get used to when working with CakePHP is the CakePHP find method. This is a collection of CakePHP find examples.
First, a list of possible CakePHP find query parameters:
Name Default Description
type 'first' can be 'all', 'first', or 'list'. determines what type of
find operation to perform. (TODO - more info here)
conditions null array containing the find (select) conditions as
key/value pairs
fields null array specifying which fields should be retrieved
in the resulting select query
order null sql 'order by conditions. field name must be
followed by ASC or DESC
page null page number, used for paged data
limit null a limit on the number of results returned, like
'select * from orders limit 20'.
offset null sql offset value (i haven't used this query much
myself, but i think it refers to skipping X
number of rows returned in a query)
recursive 1 the cakephp recursive value, relating to associated
model data
Next, a very simple CakePHP find query that retrieves all records from the Post model (probably not something you'll want to do in a production application):
$this->Post->find('all');
A CakePHP find query with one condition:
$this->Post->find('all', array('conditions'=>array('User.id'=>5)));
A CakePHP find query with one "not equal to" condition:
$this->Post->find('all', array('conditions'=>array('User.id'=>'<> 5')));
A CakePHP find query with multiple conditions:
# this is a little lame, but i'm trying to avoid dates
$this->Post->find('all', array('conditions'=>array('User.id'=>1, 'Post.id'=>'> 50')));
A CakePHP find query that uses all the find function parameters:
# TODO - i'm not sure that this is right; i think 'fields' is supposed to be an array
$this->Post->find('all',
array('conditions'=>array('User.id'=>5),
'fields'=>'Post.name',
'order'=>'Post.id ASC',
'limit'=>20,
'recursive'=>0));
A CakePHP find query using a date:
# note: you can search for date or datetime fields by enclosing the table's field name
# in the SQL DATE() function.
$this->Post->find('all', array('conditions'=>array('User.id'=>5, 'DATE(Post.date)'=>'CURDATE()')));
# TODO demonstrate "date >" and "date <" conditions
CakePHP find queries with ORDER BY examples:
array('order'=>'date ASC')
array('order'=>'date DESC')
array('order'=>'User.id DESC')
A collection of other CakePHP find query examples:
These CakePHP find examples are lines of code that would be used in an OrderController class:
$this->Order->find('all');
$this->Order->find(null, null, 'date DESC');
$this->Order->find('all', array('conditions'=>array('User.id'=>1)));
$this->Order->find('all', array('conditions'=>array('User.id'=>array(1,2,3,4))));
$this->Order->find('all', array('conditions'=>array('User.id'=>'<> 1')));
$this->Order->find('all', array('conditions'=>array('User.id'=>1, 'DATE(Post.date)'=>'CURDATE()')));
$this->Order->find('all', array('order'=>'date ASC', 'limit'=>20, 'recursive'=>0);
Here are some CakePHP find examples from the CakePHP retrieving your data book page:
$params can contain all these:
array(
'conditions' => array('Model.field' => $thisValue), //array of conditions
'recursive' => 1, //int
'fields' => array('Model.field1', 'DISTINCT Model.field2'), //array of field names
'order' => array('Model.created', 'Model.field3 DESC'), //string or array defining order
'group' => array('Model.field'), //fields to GROUP BY
'limit' => n, //int
'page' => n, //int
'offset'=>n, //int
'callbacks' => true //other possible values are false, 'before', 'after'
)
Here's a CakePHP function showing several different CakePHP find examples:
# find('first', $params) syntax
function some_function() {
...
$this->Article->order = null; // resetting if it's set
$semiRandomArticle = $this->Article->find();
$this->Article->order = 'Article.created DESC'; // simulating the model having a default order
$lastCreated = $this->Article->find();
$alsoLastCreated = $this->Article->find('first', array('order' => array('Article.created DESC')));
$specificallyThisOne = $this->Article->find('first', array('conditions' => array('Article.id' => 1)));
...
}
Here's a CakePHP find count example:
# find('count', $params)
function some_function() {
...
$total = $this->Article->find('count');
$pending = $this->Article->find('count', array('conditions' => array('Article.status' => 'pending')));
$authors = $this->Article->User->find('count');
$publishedAuthors = $this->Article->find('count', array(
'fields' => 'DISTINCT Article.user_id',
'conditions' => array('Article.status !=' => 'pending')
));
...
}
Some CakePHP find all examples:
# find('all', $params) syntax
function some_function() {
...
$allArticles = $this->Article->find('all');
$pending = $this->Article->find('all', array('conditions' => array('Article.status' => 'pending')));
$allAuthors = $this->Article->User->find('all');
$allPublishedAuthors = $this->Article->User->find('all', array('conditions' => array('Article.status !=' => 'pending')));
...
}
CakePHP find list examples, useful for creating select boxes:
# find('list', $params) syntax
function some_function() {
...
$allArticles = $this->Article->find('list');
$pending = $this->Article->find('list', array(
'conditions' => array('Article.status' => 'pending')
));
$allAuthors = $this->Article->User->find('list');
$allPublishedAuthors = $this->Article->find('list', array(
'fields' => array('User.id', 'User.name'),
'conditions' => array('Article.status !=' => 'pending'),
'recursive' => 0
));
...
}
See the CakePHP retrieving your data book page for many more CakePHP find examples, including:
- find threaded
- find neighbors
- findAllBy
- findBy
- query
- field
- read
- More complex CakePHP find examples
CakePHP paginate Examples
Another important CakePHP method to know is the CakePHP paginate method. Here is a collection of CakePHP paginate examples.
A basic CakePHP paginate method in a controller:
function index() {
$this->Order->recursive = 0;
$this->set('orders', $this->paginate());
}
You can also control CakePHP pagination with the CakePHP paginate variable in your CakePHP controllers, like this:
class RecipesController extends AppController {
var $paginate = array(
'limit' => 25,
'order' => array(
'Post.title' => 'asc'
)
);
}
or this:
class RecipesController extends AppController {
var $paginate = array(
'fields' => array('Post.id', 'Post.created'),
'limit' => 25,
'order' => array(
'Post.title' => 'asc'
)
);
}
For more information on CakePHP pagination, see the CakePHP pagination book page.
CakePHP logging
You can write to CakePHP log files using the CakeLog::write method:
CakeLog::write('debug', 'Something did not work');
Or you can use the CakePHP log function in any class that extends the CakePHP Object class:
$this->log("Something did not work!", 'debug');
You can also perform CakePHP error logging like this:
Configure::write('log', E_WARNING);
CakePHP Global Methods
These are names of some globally available CakePHP methods (assuming you extend the CakePHP Object class):
config uses vendor debug - use like <? debug($order); ?> in a view a aa am e - shortcut for echo() env ife low up r pr - shortcut for print_r() stripslashes_deep

CakePHP cheat sheet (reference page) - Summary
I hope this CakePHP cheat sheet has been helpful. As mentioned, it is very heavily based on the CakePHP reference page, which can be found at the CakePHP Trac website. Some of the examples also come from the excellent Beginning CakePHP
(FWIW, yes, I feel guilty about copying their CakePHP cheat sheet content, but I hope to vastly improve on it over time as I continue to develop my own CakePHP applications. I really like my cheat sheets to have a lot of examples I can easily reference, which is something I think their CakePHP cheat sheet is lacking.)
