Installing/Upgrading Drush on Ubuntu

Install composer globally:

$ curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
$ sudo mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer
Install drush globally (for your user), you can specify the version:
 



$ composer global require drush/drush:7.*



Add the composer path to your path (in your *.bashrc* or *.zshrc* or other):
export PATH="$HOME/.composer/vendor/bin:$PATH" 
While not recommended, Drush can easily be installed on Ubuntu by using Aptitude or apt-get. If you have sudo rights the quickest way to install Drush is from the Ubuntu repository:

$ sudo apt-get install drush

However, the version this currently will give you is 4.5 (using Ubuntu 12.04). Newer versions have many improvements so you should use Drush to upgrade itself to the latest stable:

$ sudo drush dl drush --destination='/usr/share'

Then you can check the update has been successful by executing:
$ drush --version

You could also install Drush manually by downloading it directly from the project page and following the instructions of the README.txt file.
For Ubuntu 10.04 LTS apt-get will provide 2.0 Drush version, you need to follow Ubuntu help support to enable backports and so have 4.4-1 version available, which can then by upgraded to 5.6 as described above.
$ sudo apt-get install -t lucid-backports drush

What is Cakephp Actually ? CakePHP is a PHP Rapid Development Framework. PHP Framework? What is it? Why should I rely on a Framework? PHP developers are mostly self-trained (at least I am so) and being rather easy-to-develop, lots of developers jump-start developing applications without caring for code organisation/optimization and security.So one should know before you start with the exact application.It becomes a real challenge to DEBUG an unorganized code! Basically we need to follow up some conventions.Since to maintain a proper format of coding.So that it can be understood by any one who refers the code . CakePHP does that. It sets few CONVENTIONs for following and also perform a lot of tasks automatically - like generating a web form from database tables (with ALL VALIDATION RULES), integrating AJAX (Yes! It does so! Even if you do not have much understanding of AJAX), creating sophisticated SQL queries (master-detail type even), and it does so in a bette...
