The Fast, Secure and Professional PHP Framework
Yii is a high-performance PHP framework best for developing Web 2.0 applications.
Yii comes with rich features: MVC, DAO/ActiveRecord, I18N/L10N, caching, authentication and role-based access control, scaffolding, testing, etc. It can reduce your development time significantly.
Three steps to build your application rapidly:
- You create the database;
- Yii generates the base PHP code;
- You customize the code to fit your exact needs.

Yii only loads the features that you need. It has powerful caching support. It is explicitly designed to work efficiently with AJAX.
Secure
Security comes as standard with Yii. It includes input validation, output filtering, SQL injection and Cross-site scripting prevention.

Yii is a simple but very powerful application framework with a very short learning curve. Its component-based design allows us to customize it for our needs without directly modifying it -- maintaining upgradability. It's amazing how we were able to use it not just on our main app and our API, but also on our daemons!
