Without trying to sound harsh: CakePHP is not for you. If you're new to PHP and you're not familiar with programming, you'll get nowhere with CakePHP, because CakePHP is really just PHP wrapped in some fancy libraries. In other words, you're not dealing with a front-end CMS like Wordpress or Drupal, but rather the code that works behind the scenes. If you don't know PHP, you really need to learn before you can dig into CakePHP, or any type of PHP for that matter. There are a ton of good books on the subject, so I would recommend reading at least one of them, following the tutorials, etc. Beyond that, the PHP website - http://php.net - is an excellent resource.
And, to answer your second question: yes, a PHP developer would be able to write that type of website in CakePHP, since Cake is just a framework that allows you to 'build' whatever you'd like. - Jamie On Sep 7, 4:20 pm, SciFi <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, I'm new to PHP and am not a web programmer and developer, but I > would like to offer my community their own online classifieds site.
