The document discusses integrating the CakePHP and Drupal frameworks by sharing data and synchronizing user bases between the two systems. It proposes using cURL requests and XML to transfer data without directly connecting the databases. A sample implementation is described where a CakePHP app is built with CRUD functionality and integrated with a Drupal install to facilitate user creation and single sign-on. The code review examines components to interface with cURL and controllers that utilize them to call Drupal when needed.
