Scaffolding in CakePHP is an application creation technique used to create a basic application that does data operations such as create, read, update, & delete.
It is used to create a temporary quick application that is not in any way flexible. With scaffolding, you can also create or break the link between objects. To create scaffolding, you need to have a model and Controller defined. Then with a $scaffold variable in the Controller, you can create your application quickly.
