cakePHP, like CodeIgniter, FuelPHP and Symfony (just to name a few) are frameworks. What this means is that they have tried to abstract some of the normal, every-day things you do in development in an effort to speed up development time and make you more profitable.

In today's world, there is no excuse for not using a framework. If you refuse to use a framework, you find yourself creating a lot of the things that a good framework provides anyway (i.e. data abstraction layers, session classes, form validation, etc). By using a framework, you not only gain time, but you gain stability as the different components of the framework should be designed to work well together and have been thoroughly tested by the community.

Whichever framework you choose is up to you and hopefully now you understand it's benefits.

CakePHP is an MVC framework that will allow you to setup your data model and connect it to a database to be easily manipulated in PHP. It also allows you separate your business logic from your display logic using a controller.

It also gives you a lot of useful functionality like authorization, sessions, form validation, pagination.. for free. You should check out the feature list.

If you didn't use CakePHP you would have to roll your own framework, which is a lot of extra hassle and work. There are of course other frameworks.

The answer is pretty simple, it comes down to your need's, do you need a framework?

You say that you know php well, i doubt you know it as well as you think as you would not ask a question of this nature, you would understand the concepts behind a framework.

You say:

So just want to know that is there any benefits of using cakePHP over PHP?

it's not a language sir, it's a framework that supplies the PHP foundations for an application, why would you not wan't to use such a thing, what you should be asking is:

What's the best framework to learn once you have mastered PHP Fundamentals.

But don't ask it here, there are plenty of posts that answer that question for you.
