Create a Post Model

The Model class is the bread and butter of CakePHP applications. By creating a CakePHP model that will interact with our database, we’ll have the foundation in place needed to do our view, add, edit, and delete operations later.

CakePHP’s model class files go in?/app/Model, and the file we’ll be creating will be saved to?/app/Model/Post.php. The completed file should look like this:

<?php
class Post extends AppModel {
}

Naming convention is very important in CakePHP. By naming our model Post, CakePHP can automatically infer that this model will be used in the PostsController, and will be tied to a database table called?posts.
