The most difficult thing in a big project, is to manage conflicts with files modified by others users. Git can do this work for us.

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:

当我们使用Yii数据库去保存Session时，只要简单的配置就可以完成这个功能，在进行性能优化这个主题之前，我们先来查看一下CHttpSession和CDBHttpSession源代码，探讨CHttpSession和CDBHttpSession的流程再进行深一步优化主题。

To use this "how-to", you need to install phing in your machine.

This example uses a MySQL DB with a table named tree with the fields id, name, and parent_id. The parent_id will be NULL for root elements. The SQL is kept simple (no autoinc, no FK, etc).
