设置:CakePHP的数据库驱动设置插件。安装步骤:首先,通过安装'Setting',并设置CakePlugin::load('Setting', array('bootstrap' => true));其次,创建模式:./lib/Cake/Console/cake schema create settings --plugin Setting。用法:在配置中,设置Setting.settings,类似于Model::validate。示例配置:Configure::write('Setting.settings', array('tax_rate' => array('rule' => array('numeric')))
