Try codeigniter, it's a much better framework imo. CI has greater community support, vastly better documentation, and if you like to actually "see" what's going on with your code, is a much better option. I miss Cake's scaffolding feature, but Cake's documentation is just crap. CakePHP also has slower server execution speed, and I found it to be far too "magical." I know it's a framework, but it's kinda crazy when one line of code does a million and one things.
