I like coding in PHP. Actually I really love it. But it's tedious to write the same code over and over again for the same, but slightly different tasks, like accessing the database for some query.

Someone suggested building my own library with classes (Object Oriented Programming - OOP), another one suggested PEAR.

But I wanted a complete framework, because a (good) framework keeps program logic and dispay separated from each other, plus it contains a lot of work done by others (like many coders, I'm lazy as well ). 

So I tested several, but one of my objectives was that it had to use PHP. Ruby on Rails is good, but I didn't want to learn a new language.

So I started experimenting with CakePHP, and I like it a lot. It's work in progress, but the guys give good support (irc #cakephp, and the documentation is great).

If I get a little more used to Cake, I will show you a website.
