24. Cake PHP Anatomy

25. File and Classname Conventions Filenames are underscored while classnames are CamelCasedSo if you have a class MyNiftyClass, then in Cake, the file should be named my_nifty_class.php

26. Model and Database ConventionsModel classnames are singular and CamelCased.Table names corresponding to CakePHP models are plural and underscored.peopletasksusersField names with two or more words are underscored likefirst_nameForeign keys<singular_table_name>_id

27. Controller ConventionsController classnames are plural, CamelCased, and end in Controller. PeopleController and LatestArticlesController are both examples of conventional controller names.

28. View ConventionsView template files are named after the controller functions they display, in an underscored form. The getReady() function of the PeopleController class will look for a view template in /app/views/people/get_ready.ctp.
