I have seen a couple of articles about how to integrate external libraries to debug our PHP code (i.e. firePHP) but after you read this article you will realize that there is no need for such libraries when using Yii.

I had some troubles with the password confirmation field for when adding updating user records, so i thought that i should share the way i got it working.

Using filters on CGridView with CActiveDataProvider is easy, but with CArrayDataProvider it is a bit tricky.

I wanted to keep all the I18N related translations in separate files, so that I would not need to modify the view files or the model files every time I need to update or fix the translations of application's source language.

Yii's by-default directory organization works well enough, but there are several steps one can take that improve the security and serviceability of the system, especially in the context of multiple Yii projects on the same machine (including multiple versions of the same project).

With Yii you can use one CActiveForm for collecting data for two or more models with ajax validation and client validation.

This is a simple example of how we can display images in CGridviews.Imagine that you have an image field in your table ie either a location field or a blob type field used to store the images.

Normally when we want users to download a file, that file is put in a folder under the web application root and the web server does the rest.
