In addition to the opcode cache, APC can also serve as a user cache for Yii via [CApcCache]. It should be noted that this will make APC's memory needs less predictable.

Since version 5.4 PHP can work as a simple webserver so you can develop Yii applications without installing Apache. That's how to use it:

    For each column of the CGridView, we can specify name, value, htmlOptions, cssClassExpression etc. In the declarations of the attributes value and cssClassExpression we can use the "special" variable $data, for example like this:
'value'=>'$data->author->username',.
    Now we might want to use $data in the declaration of the `...

When we use multiple radio buttons with same name in Yii many people have the problem on getting the value of the selected radiobutton. The radioButtonList can be used for that, but if we need to use radioButton itself to place the button any where in a view, we need to include one more parameter in htmloption array().
