FAQ

After the download, you have to make one include require_once('vendor/autoload.php');. After that you have to import the classes with use statements.

Example:
If you use only one package a project is not needed. But if you use more then one package, without a project it is not possible to import the classes with use statements.

In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
Some PHP packages are not free to download and because of that hosted in private repositories. In this case some credentials are needed to access such packages. Please use the auth.json textarea to insert credentials, if a package is coming from a private repository. You can look here for more information.

  • Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
  • To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
  • Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
  • If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
  • Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.
Please rate this library. Is it a good library?

Yii Web Programming Framework

Thank you for choosing Yii - a high-performance component-based PHP framework.

Build Status

Note that Yii 1.1 has reached end of life and will only receive necessary security fixes and fixes to adjust the code for compatibility with PHP 7 and 8 if they do not cause breaking changes. This allows you to keep your servers PHP version up to date in the environments where old Yii 1.1 applications are hosted and stay within the version ranges supported by the PHP team.

Currently tested and supported up to PHP 8.2.

Please access the following URL to check if your Web server reaches the requirements by Yii, assuming "YiiPath" is where Yii is installed:

  http://hostname/YiiPath/requirements/index.php

QUICK START

Yii comes with a command line tool called "yiic" that can create a skeleton Yii application for you to start with.

On command line, type in the following commands:

    $ cd YiiPath/framework                (Linux)
    cd YiiPath\framework                  (Windows)

    $ ./yiic webapp ../testdrive          (Linux)
    yiic webapp ..\testdrive              (Windows)

The new Yii application will be created at "YiiPath/testdrive". You can access it with the following URL:

    http://hostname/YiiPath/testdrive/index.php
