CakePHP 请求周期

下图描述了 CakePHP 中请求生命周期的工作原理 -

典型的 CakePHP 请求周期从用户请求应用程序中的页面或资源开始。在高层，每个请求都会经历以下步骤 -

网络服务器重写规则将请求定向到 webroot / index.php。
应用程序的自动加载器和引导文件已执行。
配置的任何调度过滤器都可以处理请求，并可以选择生成响应。
调度程序根据路由规则选择适当的控制器和操作。
调用控制器的操作，控制器与所需的模型和组件交互。
控制器将响应创建委托给视图以生成模型数据的输出。
视图使用 Helpers 和 Cells 生成响应正文和标头。
响应被发送回客户端。

CakePHP - 安装

在本章中，我们将展示 CakePHP 4.0.3 的安装。我们需要安装的最低 PHP 版本是 PHP 7.3.

在开始安装cakePHP之前，您需要安装PHP 7.3和Composer。

对于Windows用户，安装或更新PHP版本> 7.3的WAMP服务器。

前往 www.wampserver.com/en/download-wampserver-64bits/ 并安装它。

对于Linux用户，请参考TutorialsPoint网站，网址为www.tutorialspoint.com/php7/php7_installation_linux.htm来安装PHP。

安装 Composer

转到 https://getcomposer.org/download/ 上的 Composer，然后根据您计算机的操作系统 (OS) 单击“下载”，然后在您的系统上安装 Composer。将位置添加到 Windows 用户的 PATH 变量中，以便您可以从任何目录使用 Composer。

安装完 Composer 后，现在让我们开始安装 CakePHP。

安装 CakePHP

Windows用户进入wamp所在文件夹，在www/文件夹中创建一个文件夹cakephp4/.

对于 Linux 用户，创建文件夹 var/www/html/，然后创建文件夹 cakephp4/.

cakephp4/ 是我们要安装 CakePHP 的文件夹。

使用composer执行以下命令 -

composer create-project --prefer-dist cakephp/app:4.0.3 cakephp4

登录后复制

这是命令执行时您应该看到的内容 -

安装完成后，使用 localhost 在浏览器中打开您的项目。

相同的路径是http://localhost/cakephp。

CakePHP - 文件夹结构

在这里，我们将了解 CakePHP 中的文件夹结构和命名约定。让我们从了解文件夹结构开始。

文件夹结构

看看下面的截图。它显示了 CakePHP 的文件夹结构。

下表描述了CakePHP中每个文件夹的作用 -

先生不	文件夹名称和说明
1	bin bin 文件夹包含 Cake 控制台可执行文件。
2	配置 config 文件夹包含 CakePHP 使用的（几个）配置文件。数据库连接详细信息、引导、核心配置文件等应存储在此处。
3	日志 logs 文件夹通常包含您的日志文件，具体取决于您的日志配置。
4	插件 plugins 文件夹是存储应用程序使用的插件的位置。
5	资源各个语言环境文件夹中的国际化文件将存储在此处。例如。 locales/en_US。
6	src src 文件夹将是你施展魔法的地方。您的应用程序文件将放置在此处，您将完成大部分应用程序开发。让我们仔细看看 src 中的文件夹。控制台 - 包含应用程序的控制台命令和控制台任务。控制器 - 包含应用程序的控制器及其组件。模型 - 包含应用程序的表、实体和行为。视图展示类放置在这里：单元格、助手和模板文件。
7	模板模板展示文件放置在这里：元素、错误页面、布局和视图模板文件。
8	测试 tests 文件夹将是您放置应用程序测试用例的位置。
9	tmp tmp文件夹是CakePHP存储临时数据的地方。它存储的实际数据取决于您如何配置 CakePHP，但此文件夹通常用于存储模型描述，有时还用于存储会话信息。
10	供应商 vendor 文件夹是 CakePHP 和其他应用程序依赖项的安装位置。做出个人承诺不编辑此文件夹中的文件。如果您修改了核心，我们无法帮助您。
11	webroot webroot 目录是您的应用程序的公共文档根目录。它包含您希望公开访问的所有文件。

Naming Convention

Naming convention is not something mandatory to be followed, but is a good coding practice and will be very helpful as your project goes big.

CakePHP 快速指南 Convention

The controller class name has to be plural, PascalCased and the name has to end with CakePHP 快速指南. For example, for Students class the name of the controller can be StudentsCakePHP 快速指南. Public methods on CakePHP 快速指南s are often exposed as ‘actions’ accessible through a web browser.

For example, the /users /view maps to the view() method of the UsersCakePHP 快速指南 out of the box. Protected or private methods cannot be accessed with routing.

File and Class CakePHP 快速指南 Convention

Mostly, we have seen that our class name file name is almost the same. This is similar in cakephp.

For example, the class StudentsCakePHP 快速指南 will have the file named as StudentsCakePHP 快速指南.php. The files have to be saved as the module name and in the respective folders in app folder.

Database Conventions

The tables used for CakePHP models, mostly have names plural with underscore.

For example, student_details, student_marks. The field name has an underscore, if it is made up of two words, for example, first_name, last_name.

Model Conventions

For model, the classes are named as per database table, the names are plural, PascalCased and suffixed with Table.

For example, StudentDetailsTable, StudentMarksTable

View Conventions

For view templates, the files are based on controller functions.

For example, if the class StudentDetailsCakePHP 快速指南 has function showAll(), the view template will be named as show_all.php and saved inside template/yrmodule/show_all.php.

CakePHP - Project Configuration

In this chapter, we will understand the Environment CakePHP 快速指南, General Configuration, Database Configuration and Email Configuration in CakePHP.

Configuration CakePHP comes with one configuration file by default, and we can modify it according to our needs. There is one dedicated folder “config” for this purpose. CakePHP comes with different configuration options.

Let us start by understanding the Environment CakePHP 快速指南 in CakePHP.

Environment CakePHP 快速指南

Environment variables make the working of your application on different environments easy. For example, on dev server, test server, staging server and production server environment. For all these environments, you can make use of env() function to read the configuration for the environment you need and build your application.

In your config folder, you will come across config/.env.example. This file has all the variables that will be changed based on your environment. To start with, you can create a file in config folder i.e. config/.env and define those variables and use them. In case you need any additional variables, it can go in that file.

You can read your environment variable using env() function as shown below −

Example

$debug = env('APP_DEBUG', false);

The first one is the name of the environment variable you want and second value is the default value. The default value is used, if there is no value found for the environment variable.

General Configuration

The following table describes the role of various variables and how they affect your CakePHP application.

Sr.No	Variable CakePHP 快速指南 & Description
1	debug Changes CakePHP debugging output. false = Production mode. No error messages, errors, or warnings shown. true = Errors and warnings shown.
2	App.namespace The namespace to find app classes under.
3	App.baseUrl Un-comment this definition, if you don’t plan to use Apache’s mod_rewrite with CakePHP. Don’t forget to remove your .htaccess files too.
4	App.base The base directory the app resides in. If false, this will be auto detected.
5	App.encoding Define what encoding your application uses. This encoding is used to generate the charset in the layout, and encode entities. It should match the encoding values specified for your database.
6	App.webroot The webroot directory.
7	App.wwwRoot The file path to webroot.
8	App.fullBaseUrl The fully qualified domain name (including protocol) to your application’s root.
9	App.imageBaseUrl Web path to the public images directory under webroot.
10	App.cssBaseUrl Web path to the public css directory under webroot.
11	App.jsBaseUrl Web path to the public js directory under webroot.
12	App.paths Configure paths for non-class based resources. Supports the plugins, templates, locales, subkeys, which allow the definition of paths for plugins, view templates and locale files respectively.
13	Security.salt A random string used in hashing. This value is also used as the HMAC salt when doing symmetric encryption.
14	Asset.timestamp Appends a timestamp, which is last modified time of the particular file at the end of asset files URLs (CSS, JavaScript, Image) when using proper helpers. The valid values are − (bool) false - Doesn’t do anything (default). (bool) true - Appends the timestamp, when debug is true. (string) ‘force’ - Always appends the timestamp.

Databases Configuration

Database can be configured in config/app.php and config/app_local.php file. This file contains a default connection with provided parameters, which can be modified as per our choice.

The below snippet shows the default parameters and values, which should be modified as per the requirement.

Config/app_local.php

   'Datasources' => [
      'default' => [
         'host' => 'localhost',
         'username' => 'my_app',
         'password' => 'secret',
         'database' => 'my_app',
         'url' => env('DATABASE_URL', null),
      ],
      /*
         * The test connection is used during the test suite.
      */
      'test' => [
         'host' => 'localhost',
         //'port' => 'non_standard_port_number',
         'username' => 'my_app',
         'password' => 'secret',

Let us understand each parameter in detail in config/app.php.

log

Sr.No	Key & Description
1	classCakePHP 快速指南 The fully namespaced class name of the class that represents the connection to a database server. This class is responsible for loading the database driver, providing SQL transaction mechanisms and preparing SQL statements among other things.
2	driver The class name of the driver used to implement all specificities for a database engine. This can either be a short classname using plugin syntax, a fully namespaced name, or a constructed driver instance. Examples of short classnames are Mysql, Sqlite, Postgres, and Sqlserver.
3	persistent Whether or not to use a persistent connection to the database.
4	encoding Indicates the character set to use, when sending SQL statements to the server like ‘utf8’ etc.
5	timezone Server timezone to set.
6	init A list of queries that should be sent to the database server as and when the connection is created.
7	log Set to true to enable query logging. When enabled queries will be logged at a debug level with the queriesLog scope.
8	quoteIdentifiers Set to true, if you are using reserved words or special characters in your table or column names. Enabling this setting will result in queries built using the Query Builder having identifiers quoted when creating SQL. It decreases performance.
9	flags An associative array of PDO constants that should be passed to the underlying PDO instance.
10	cacheMetadata Either boolean true, or a string containing the cache configuration to store meta data in. Having metadata caching disable is not advised and can result in very poor performance.

Email Configuration

Email can be configured in file config/app.php. It is not required to define email configuration in config/app.php. Email can be used without it. Just use the respective methods to set all configurations separately or load an array of configs. Configuration for Email defaults is created using config() and configTransport().

Email Configuration Transport

By defining transports separately from delivery profiles, you can easily re-use transport configuration across multiple profiles. You can specify multiple configurations for production, development and testing. Each transport needs a classCakePHP 快速指南. Valid options are as follows −

Mail − Send using PHP mail function
Smtp − Send using SMTP
Debug − Do not send the email, just return the result

You can add custom transports (or override existing transports) by adding the appropriate file to src/Mailer/Transport. Transports should be named YourTransport.php, where 'Your' is the name of the transport.

Following is the example of Email configuration transport.

'EmailTransport' => [
   'default' => [
      'classCakePHP 快速指南' => 'Mail',
      // The following keys are used in SMTP transports
      'host' => 'localhost',
      'port' => 25,
      'timeout' => 30,
      'username' => 'user',
      'password' => 'secret',
      'client' => null,
      'tls' => null,
      'url' => env('EMAIL_TRANSPORT_DEFAULT_URL', null),
   ],
],

Email Delivery Profiles

Delivery profiles allow you to predefine various properties about email messages from your application, and give the settings a name. This saves duplication across your application and makes maintenance and development easier. Each profile accepts a number of keys.

Following is an example of Email delivery profiles.

'Email' => [
   'default' => [
   
      'transport' => 'default',
      'from' => 'you@localhost',
   ],

CakePHP - Routing

In this chapter, we are going to learn the following topics related to routing −

Introduction to Routing
Connecting Routes
Passing CakePHP 快速指南 to Routes
Generating urls
CakePHP 快速指南 urls

Introduction to Routing

In this section, we will see how you can implement routes, how you can pass arguments from URL to controller’s action, how you can generate URLs, and how you can redirect to a specific URL. Normally, routes are implemented in file config/routes.php. Routing can be implemented in two ways −

static method
scoped route builder

Here, is an example presenting both the types.

// Using the scoped route builder.
Router::scope('/', function ($routes) {
   $routes->connect('/', ['controller' => 'CakePHP 快速指南s', 'action' => 'index']);
});
// Using the static method.
Router::connect('/', ['controller' => 'CakePHP 快速指南s', 'action' => 'index']);

登录后复制

Both the methods will execute the index method of CakePHP 快速指南sCakePHP 快速指南. Out of the two methods, scoped route builder gives better performance.

Connecting Routes

Router::connect() method is used to connect routes. The following is the syntax of the method −

static Cake\Routing\Router::connect($route, $defaults =[], $options =[])

登录后复制

There are three arguments to the Router::connect() method −

The first argument is for the URL template you wish to match.
The second argument contains default values for your route elements.
The third argument contains options for the route, which generally contains regular expression rules.

Here, is the basic format of a route −

$routes->connect(
   'URL template',
   ['default' => 'defaultValue'],
   ['option' => 'matchingRegex']
);

登录后复制

Example

Make changes in the config/routes.php file as shown below.

config/routes.php

<?php use Cake\Http\Middleware\CsrfProtectionMiddleware;
use Cake\Routing\Route\DashedRoute;
use Cake\Routing\RouteBuilder;
$routes->setRouteClass(DashedRoute::class);
$routes->scope('/', function (RouteBuilder $builder) {
   // Register scoped middleware for in scopes.
      $builder->registerMiddleware('csrf', new CsrfProtectionMiddleware([
      'httpOnly' => true,
   ]));
   $builder->applyMiddleware('csrf');
   $builder->connect('/', ['controller' => 'Tests', 'action' => 'show']);
   $builder->connect('/pages/*', ['controller' => 'Pages', 'action' => 'display']);
   $builder->fallbacks();
});

Create a folder Tests under src/Template and under that folder, create a View file called show.php. Copy the following code in that file.

src/Template/Tests/show.php

<h1>This is CakePHP tutorial and this is an example of connecting routes.</h1>

登录后复制

Execute the above example by visiting the following URL which is available at http://localhost/cakephp4/

Output

The above URL will yield the following output.

Passed CakePHP 快速指南

Passed arguments are the arguments which are passed in the URL. These arguments can be passed to controller’s action. These passed arguments are given to your controller in three ways.

As arguments to the action method

Following example shows, how we can pass arguments to the action of the controller. Visit the following URL at http://localhost/cakephp4/tests/value1/value2

This will match the following route line.

$builder->connect('tests/:arg1/:arg2', ['controller' => 'Tests', 'action' => 'show'],['pass' => ['arg1', 'arg2']]);

登录后复制

Here, the value1 from URL will be assigned to arg1 and value2 will be assigned to arg2.

As numericallyindexed array

Once the argument is passed to the controller’s action, you can get the argument with the following statement.

$args = $this->request->params[‘pass’]

登录后复制

The arguments passed to controller’s action will be stored in $args variable.

Using routing array

The argument can also be passed to action by the following statement −

$routes->connect('/', ['controller' => 'Tests', 'action' => 'show',5,6]);

登录后复制

The above statement will pass two arguments 5, and 6 to TestCakePHP 快速指南’s show() method.

Example

Make Changes in the config/routes.php file as shown in the following program.

config/routes.php

<?php use Cake\Http\Middleware\CsrfProtectionMiddleware;

Generating URLs

This is a cool feature of CakePHP. Using the generated URLs, we can easily change the structure of URL in the application without modifying the whole code.

url( string|array|null $url null , boolean $full false )

登录后复制

The above function will take two arguments −

The first argument is an array specifying any of the following - 'controller', 'action', 'plugin'. Additionally, you can provide routed elements or query string parameters. If string, it can be given the name of any valid url string.
If true, the full base URL will be prepended to the result. Default is false.

CakePHP - CakePHP 快速指南s

The controller as the name indicates controls the application. It acts like a bridge between models and views. CakePHP 快速指南s handle request data, makes sure that correct models are called and right response or view is rendered.

Methods in the controllers’ class are called actions. Each controller follows naming conventions. The CakePHP 快速指南 class names are in plural form, Camel Cased, and end in CakePHP 快速指南 — PostsCakePHP 快速指南.

AppCakePHP 快速指南

The AppConttroller class is the parent class of all applications’ controllers. This class extends the CakePHP 快速指南 class of CakePHP. AppCakePHP 快速指南 is defined at src/CakePHP 快速指南/AppCakePHP 快速指南.php. The file contains the following code.

<?php declare(strict_types=1);
namespace App\CakePHP 快速指南;
use Cake\CakePHP 快速指南\CakePHP 快速指南;
class AppCakePHP 快速指南 extends CakePHP 快速指南 {
   public function initialize(): void {
      parent::initialize();
      $this->loadComponent('RequestHandler');
      $this->loadComponent('Flash');
   }
}

登录后复制

AppCakePHP 快速指南 can be used to load components that will be used in every controller of your application. The attributes and methods created in AppCakePHP 快速指南 will be available in all controllers that extend it. The initialize() method will be invoked at the end of controller’s constructor to load components.

CakePHP 快速指南 Actions

The methods in the controller class are called Actions. These actions are responsible for sending appropriate response for browser/user making the request. View is rendered by the name of action, i.e., the name of method in controller.

Example

class RecipesCakePHP 快速指南 extends AppCakePHP 快速指南 {
   public function view($id) {
      // Action logic goes here.
   }
   public function share($customerId, $recipeId) {
      // Action logic goes here.
   }
   public function search($query) {
      // Action logic goes here.
   }
}

登录后复制

As you can see in the above example, the RecipesCakePHP 快速指南 has 3 actions − View, Share, and Search.

CakePHP 快速指南ing

For redirecting a user to another action of the same controller, we can use the setAction() method. The following is the syntax for the setAction() method.

Cake\CakePHP 快速指南\CakePHP 快速指南::setAction($action, $args...)

登录后复制

The following code will redirect the user to index action of the same controller.

$this->setAction('index');

登录后复制

The following example shows the usage of the above method.

Example

Make changes in the config/routes.php file as shown in the following program.

config/routes.php

<?php use Cake\Http\Middleware\CsrfProtectionMiddleware;

use Cake\Routing\RouteBuilder;
$routes->setRouteClass(DashedRoute::class);
$routes->scope('/', function (RouteBuilder $builder) {
   // Register scoped middleware for in scopes.
   $builder->registerMiddleware('csrf', new CsrfProtectionMiddleware([
      'httpOnly' => true,
   ]));
   $builder->applyMiddleware('csrf'); 
   $builder->connect('/redirect-controller',['controller'=>'CakePHP 快速指南s','action'=>'action1']);
   $builder->connect('/redirect-controller2',['controller'=>'CakePHP 快速指南s','action'=>'action2']);
   $builder->fallbacks();
});

The letter “V” in the MVC is for Views. Views are responsible for sending output to user based on request. View Classes is a powerful way to speed up the development process.

View Templates

The View Templates file of CakePHP gets data from controller and then render the output so that it can be displayed properly to the user. We can use variables, various control structures in template.

Template files are stored in src/Template/, in a directory named after the controller that uses the files, and named after the action it corresponds to. For example, the Viewfile for the Products controller’s “view()” action, would normally be found in src/Template/Products/view.php.

In short, the name of the controller (ProductsCakePHP 快速指南) is same as the name of the folder (Products) but without the word CakePHP 快速指南 and name of action/method (view()) of the controller (ProductsCakePHP 快速指南) is same as the name of the View file(view.php).

View CakePHP 快速指南

View variables are variables which get the value from controller. We can use as many variables in view templates as we want. We can use the set() method to pass values to variables in views. These set variables will be available in both the view and the layout your action renders. The following is the syntax of the set() method.

Cake\View\View::set(string $var, mixed $value)

This method takes two arguments − the name of the variable and its value.

Example

Make Changes in the config/routes.php file as shown in the following program.

config/routes.php

<?php use Cake\Http\Middleware\CsrfProtectionMiddleware;
use Cake\Routing\Route\DashedRoute;
use Cake\Routing\RouteBuilder;

CakePHP - Extending Views

Many times, while making web pages, we want to repeat certain part of pages in other pages. CakePHP has such facility by which one can extend view in another view and for this, we need not repeat the code again.

The extend() method is used to extend views in View file. This method takes one argument, i.e., the name of the view file with path. Don’t use extension .ctp while providing the name of the View file.

Example

Make changes in the config/routes.php file as shown in the following program.

config/routes.php

<?php use Cake\Http\Middleware\CsrfProtectionMiddleware;
use Cake\Routing\Route\DashedRoute;
use Cake\Routing\RouteBuilder;
$routes->setRouteClass(DashedRoute::class);
$routes->scope('/', function (RouteBuilder $builder) {
   $builder->registerMiddleware('csrf', new CsrfProtectionMiddleware([
      'httpOnly' => true,
   ]));

   <h1>Common Header</h1>
</div>
= $this->fetch('content') ?>

登录后复制

Create another View under Extends directory called index.php. Copy the following code in that file. Here, we are extending the above view header.php.

CakePHP - View Elements

Certain parts of the web pages are repeated on multiple web pages, but at different locations. CakePHP can help us reuse these repeated parts. These reusable parts are called Elements - help box, extra menu, etc. An element is basically a mini-view. We can also pass variables in elements.

Cake\View\View::element(string $elementPath, array $data, array $options =[]

There are three arguments to the above function as follows −

The first argument is the name of the template file in the /src/Template/element/ folder.
The second argument is the array of data to be made available to the rendered view.
The third argument is for the array of options. e.g. cache.

Out of the 3 arguments, the first one is compulsory, while the rest are optional.

Example

Create an element file at src/Template/element directory called helloworld.php. Copy the following code in that file.

src/Template/element/helloworld.php

<p>Hello World</p>

CakePHP - View Events

There are several callbacks/events that we can use with View Events. These events are helpful to perform several tasks before something happens or after something happens. The following is a list of callbacks that can be used with CakePHP −

Sr.No	Event Function & Description
1	Helper::beforeRender(Event $event,$viewFile) The beforeRender method is called after the controller’s beforeRender method but before the controller renders view and layout. This receives the file being rendered as an argument.
2	Helper::beforeRenderFile(Event $event, $viewFile) This method is called before each view file is rendered. This includes elements, views, parent views and layouts.
3	Helper::afterRenderFile(Event $event, $viewFile, $content) This method is called after each View file is rendered. This includes elements, views, parent views and layouts. A callback can modify and return $content to change how the rendered content will be displayed in the browser.
4	Helper::afterRender(Event $event, $viewFile) This method is called after the view has been rendered, but before the layout rendering has started.
5	Helper::beforeLayout(Event $event, $layoutFile) This method is called before the layout rendering starts. This receives the layout filename as an argument.
6	Helper::afterLayout(Event $event, $layoutFile) This method is called after the layout rendering is complete. This receives the layout filename as an argument.

CakePHP - Working with Database

Working with database in CakePHP is very easy. We will understand the CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations in this chapter.

Further, we also need to configure our database in config/app_local.php file.

'Datasources' => [
   'default' => [
      'host' => 'localhost',
      'username' => 'my_app',
      'password' => 'secret',
      'database' => 'my_app',
      'url' => env('DATABASE_URL', null),
   ],
   /*
      * The test connection is used during the test suite.
   */
   'test' => [
      'host' => 'localhost',
      //'port' => 'non_standard_port_number',
      'username' => 'my_app',
      'password' => 'secret',
      'database' => 'test_myapp',
      //'schema' => 'myapp',
   ],
],

登录后复制

The default connection has following details −

'host' => 'localhost',
   'username' => 'my_app',
   'password' => 'secret',
   'database' => 'my_app',

登录后复制

You can change the details, i.e. host, username, password and database as per your choice.

Once done, make sure it is updated in config/app_local.php in Datasources object.

Now, we will continue with above details, go to your phpmyadmin or mysql database and create user my_app as shown below −

Give the necessary privileges and save it. Now, we have the database details as per the configuration mentioned in app_local.php. When you check CakePHP home page, this is what you should get −

Now, we will create the following users’ table in the database.

CREATE TABLE `users` ( 
   `id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
   `username` varchar(50) NOT NULL, 
   `password` varchar(255) NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (`id`) 
) ENGINE=InnoDB AUTO_INCREMENT=7 DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1

Insert a Record

To insert a record in database, we first need to get hold of a table using TableRegistry class. We can fetch the instance out of registry using get() method. The get() method will take the name of the database table as an argument.

This new instance is used to create new entity. Set necessary values with the instance of new entity. We now have to call the save() method with TableRegistry class’s instance which will insert new record in database.

Example

Make changes in the config/routes.php file as shown in the following program.

CakePHP - Services

This chapter deals with the information about the authentication process available in CakePHP.

CakePHP 快速指南

CakePHP 快速指南 is the process of identifying the correct user. CakePHP supports three types of authentication.

FormAuthenticate − It allows you to authenticate users based on form POST data. Usually, this is a login form that users enter information into. This is default authentication method.
BasicAuthenticate − It allows you to authenticate users using Basic HTTP authentication
DigestAuthenticate − It allows you to authenticate users using Digest HTTP authentication.

CakePHP - 错误和异常处理

系统故障需要得到有效的处理，以保证系统的顺利运行。 CakePHP 带有默认的错误捕获，当发生错误时打印并记录错误。同样的错误处理程序用于捕获异常。

错误处理程序在 debug 为 true 时显示错误，并在 debug 为 false 时记录错误。 CakePHP 有许多异常类，内置的异常处理将捕获任何未捕获的异常并呈现有用的页面。

错误和异常配置

错误和异常可以在文件configapp.php中配置。错误处理接受一些选项，允许您为应用程序定制错误处理 -

CakePHP - Logging

Logging in CakePHP is a very easy task. You just have to use one function. You can log errors, exceptions, user activities, action taken by users, for any background process like cronjob. Logging data in CakePHP is easy. The log() function is provided by the LogTrait, which is the common ancestor for almost all CakePHP classes.

Logging Configuration

We can configure the log in file config/app.php. There is a log section in the file, where you can configure logging options as shown in the following screenshot.

By default, you will see two log levels − error and debug already configured for you. Each will handle different level of messages.

CakePHP supports various logging levels as shown below −

Emergency − System is unusable
Alert − Action must be taken immediately
Critical − Critical conditions
Error − Error conditions
Warning − Warning conditions
Notice − Normal but significant condition
Info − Informational messages
Debug − Debug-level messages

Writing to Log file

There are two ways by which, we can write in a Log file.

The first is to use the static write() method. The following is the syntax of the static write() method.

选项

数据类型

描述

错误级别

int

Option	Data Type	Description
errorLevel	int	The level of errors you are interested in capturing. Use the built-in php error constants, and bitmasks to select the level of error you are interested in.
trace	bool	Include stack traces for errors in log files. Stack traces will be included in the log after each error. This is helpful for finding where/when errors are being raised.
exceptionRenderer	string	The class responsible for rendering uncaught exceptions. If you choose a custom class, you should place the file for that class in src/Error. This class needs to implement a render() method.
log	bool	When true, exceptions + their stack traces will be logged to CakeLogLog.
skipLog	array	An array of exception class names that should not be logged. This is useful to remove NotFoundExceptions or other common, but uninteresting logs messages.
extraFatalErrorMemory	int	Set to the number of megabytes to increase the memory limit by, when a fatal error is encountered. This allows breathing room to complete logging or error handling.

您有兴趣捕获的错误级别。使用内置的 php 错误常量和位掩码来选择您感兴趣的错误级别。

跟踪

布尔

在日志文件中包含错误的堆栈跟踪。每次错误后，堆栈跟踪将包含在日志中。这有助于查找发生错误的位置/时间。

异常渲染器

字符串

负责渲染未捕获异常的类。如果您选择自定义类，则应将该类的文件放置在src/Error中。该类需要实现 render() 方法。

日志

布尔

当 true 时，异常及其堆栈跟踪将被记录到 CakeLogLog。

跳过日志

数组

不应记录的异常类名称数组。这对于删除 NotFoundExceptions 或其他常见但无趣的日志消息很有用。

额外的致命错误内存

int

设置为在遇到致命错误时增加内存限制的兆字节数。这为完成日志记录或错误处理提供了喘息的空间。

Syntax	write( integer\|string $level, mixed $message, string\|array $context [] )
Parameters	The severity level of the message being written. The value must be an integer or string matching a known level. Message content to log. Additional data to be used for logging the message. The special scope key can be passed to be used for further filtering of the log engines to be used. If a string or a numerically index array is passed, it will be treated as the scope key. See Cake\Log\Log::config() for more information on logging scopes.
Returns	boolean
Description	Writes the given message and type to all of the configured log adapters. Configured adapters are passed both the $level and $message variables. $level is one of the following strings/values.

The second is to use the log() shortcut function available on any using the LogTrait Calling log() will internally call Log::write() −

Example

Make changes in the config/routes.php file as shown in the following program.

config/routes.php

<?php use Cake\Http\Middleware\CsrfProtectionMiddleware;
use Cake\Routing\Route\DashedRoute;
use Cake\Routing\RouteBuilder;

CakePHP - Internationalization

Like many other frameworks, CakePHP also supports Internationalization. We need to follow these steps to go from single language to multiple language.

Step 1

Step 2

Create subdirectory for each language, under the directory src\Locale. The name of the subdirectory can be two letter ISO code of the language or full locale name like en_US, fr_FR etc.

Step 3

Create separate default.po file under each language subdirectory. This file contains entry in the form of msgid and msgstr, as shown in the following program.

Here, the msgid is the key which will be used in the View template file and msgstr is the value which stores the translation.

Step 4

In the View template file, we can use the above msgid, as shown below which will be translated based on the set value of locale.

The default locale can be set in the config/app.php file by the following line.

Example

Create a LocalizationsCakePHP 快速指南.php file at src/CakePHP 快速指南/LocalizationsCakePHP 快速指南.php. Copy the following code in the controller file.

Create a locales directory at resources\locales. Create 3 directories called en_US, fr_FR, de_DE under the locales directory. Create a file under each directory called default.po. Copy the following code in the respective file.

Create a directory Localizations at src/Template and under that directory, create a View file called index.php. Copy the following code in that file.

CakePHP - Session Management

Session allows us to manage unique users across requests, and stores data for specific users. Session data can be accessible anywhere, anyplace, where you have access to request object, i.e., sessions are accessible from controllers, views, helpers, cells, and components.

Accessing Session Object

Writing Session Data

The above method will take two arguments, the value and the key under, which the value will be stored.

Example

Reading Session Data

The above function will take only one argument, that is the key of the value, which was used at the time of writing session data. Once the correct key was provided, then the function will return its value.

Example

When you want to check whether, particular data exists in the session or not, then you can use the check() session method.

Example

Delete Session Data

To delete data from session, we can use the delete() session method to delete the data.

Example

When you want to read and then delete data from session then, we can use the consume() session method.

Example

Destroying a Session

We need to destroy a user session, when the user logs out from the site and to destroy the session the destroy() method is used.

Example

Destroying session will remove all session data from server, but will not remove session cookie.

Renew a Session

In a situation, where you want to renew user session then, we can use the renew() session method.

Example

Complete Session

Make changes in the config/routes.php file as shown in the following program.

Create a SessionsCakePHP 快速指南.php file at src/CakePHP 快速指南/SessionsCakePHP 快速指南.php. Copy the following code in the controller file

CakePHP - CakePHP 快速指南 Management

Handling CakePHP 快速指南 with CakePHP is easy and secure. There is a CakePHP 快速指南Component class which is used for managing CakePHP 快速指南. The class provides several methods for working with CakePHP 快速指南s.

Write CakePHP 快速指南

If the cookie collection object is already created, the rest of the cookies can be added as shown below −

Read CakePHP 快速指南

Syntax

This will return you cookiecollection Interface, to get the value of the cookie, you will have to call the method getValue().

Check CakePHP 快速指南

The has() method from cookieCollection will tell you, if the cookie is present or not.

Example

Delete CakePHP 快速指南

The remove() method is used to delete cookie. Following is the syntax of the remove() method.

The remove() method will take one argument, the name of cookie variable ($name) to delete.

Example 1

Example 2

Create a directory CakePHP 快速指南s at src/Template and under that directory create a View file called test_cookies.php. Copy the following code in that file.

Output

Execute the above example by visiting the following URL − http://localhost/cakephp4/cookie/testcookies

CakePHP - Security

Security is another important feature while building web applications. It assures the users of the website that, their data is secured. CakePHP provides some tools to secure your application.

Encryption and Decryption

Security library in CakePHP provides methods, by which we can encrypt and decrypt data. Following are the two methods, which are used for the same purpose.

The encrypt method will take text and key as the argument to encrypt data and the return value will be the encrypted value with HMAC checksum.

To hash a data, hash() method is used. Following is the syntax of the hash() method.

CSRF

CSRF stands for Cross Site Request Forgery. By enabling the CSRF Component, you get protection against attacks. CSRF is a common vulnerability in web applications.

It allows an attacker to capture and replay a previous request, and sometimes submit data requests using image tags or resources on other domains. The CSRF can be enabled by simply adding the CsrfComponent to your components array as shown below −

The CsrfComponent integrates seamlessly with FormHelper. Each time you create a form with FormHelper, it will insert a hidden field containing the CSRF token.

While this is not recommended, you may want to disable the CsrfComponent on certain requests. You can do so by using the controller’s event dispatcher, during the beforeFilter() method.

Security Component

Security Component applies tighter security to your application. It provides methods for various tasks like −

Example

Make changes in the config/routes.php file as shown in the following program.

Create a LoginsCakePHP 快速指南.php file at src/CakePHP 快速指南/LoginsCakePHP 快速指南.php. Copy the following code in the controller file.

Create a directory Logins at src/Template and under that directory create a View file called index.php. Copy the following code in that file.

Execute the above example by visiting the following URL − http://localhost/cakephp4/login

Output

CakePHP - Validation

Often while making websites, we need to validate certain things before processing data further. CakePHP provides validation package, to build validators that can validate data with ease.

Validation Methods

CakePHP provides various validation methods in the Validation Class. Some of the most popular of them are listed below.

CakePHP - Creating Validators

Validating Data

Once, we have created validator, we can use the validator object to validate data. The following code explains, how we can validate data for login webpage.

Syntax	Add(string $field, array\|string $name, array\|Cake\Validation\ValidationRule $rule [] )
Parameters	The name of the field from which the rule will be added. The alias for a single rule or multiple rules array. The rule to add
Returns	$this
Description	Adds a new rule to a field's rule set. If second argument is an array, then rules list for the field will be replaced with second argument and third argument will be ignored.

Syntax	allowEmpty(string $field, boolean\|string\|callable $whentrue, string\|null $messagenull)
Parameters	The name of the field. Indicates when the field is allowed to be empty. Valid values are true (always), 'create', 'update'. If a callable is passed, then the field will be left empty only when the callback returns true. The message to show if the field is not.
Returns	$this
Description	Allows a field to be empty.
Syntax	alphanumeric (string $field, string\|null $messagenull, string\|callable\|null $whennull)
Parameters	The field you want to apply the rule to. The error message when the rule fails. Either 'create' or 'update' or a callable that returns true when the validation rule should be applied.
Returns	$this
Description	Add an alphanumeric rule to a field.

Syntax	creditCard(string $field , string $type'all', string\|null $messagenull, string\|callable\|null $whennull)
Parameters	The field you want to apply the rule to. The type of cards you want to allow. Defaults to 'all'. You can also supply an array of accepted card types, for example, ['mastercard', 'visa', 'amex']. The error message when the rule fails. Either 'create' or 'update' or a callable that returns true, when the validation rule should be applied.
Returns	$this
Description	Add a credit card rule to a field.

Syntax	Email(string $field , boolean $checkMXfalse, string\|null $messagenull, string\|callable\|null, $whennull)
Parameters	The field you want to apply the rule to. Whether or not to check the MX records. The error message when the rule fails. Either 'create' or 'update' or a callable that returns true, when the validation rule should be applied.
Returns	$this
Description	Add an email validation rule to a field.

Syntax	maxLength(string $field, integer $max, string\|null $messagenull, string\|callable\|null $whennull)
Parameters	The field you want to apply the rule to. The maximum length allowed. The error message when the rule fails. Either 'create' or 'update' or a callable that returns true when the validation rule should be applied.
Returns	$this
Description	Add a string length validation rule to a field.

Syntax	minLength(string $field, integer $min, string\|null $messagenull, string\|callable\|null $whennull)
Parameters	The field you want to apply the rule to. The maximum length allowed. The error message when the rule fails. Either 'create' or 'update' or a callable, that returns true when the validation rule should be applied.
Returns	$this
Description	Add a string length validation rule to a field.

Syntax	notBlank(string $field, string\|null $messagenull, string\|callable\|null $whennull)
Parameters	The field you want to apply the rule to. The error message when the rule fails. Either 'create' or 'update' or a callable that returns true when the validation rule should be applied.
Returns	$this
Description	Add a notBlank rule to a field.

Using the $validator object, we have first called the notEmpty() method, which will ensure that the username must not be empty. After that, we have chained the add() method to add one more validation for proper email format.

After that we have added validation for password field with notEmpty() method, which will confirm that password field must not be empty.

Example
