Re: css + php layout: what do i need to do, to change this "usual php code" into cakephp terms?

Yes, use can take your html pieces and reuse them using cake html
helper as shown here:
http://book.cakephp.org/complete/205/HTML#link-836

Use form helper to handle forms (and create buttons too):

Almost all basic questions are covered in manual.
