We will use Symfony 2 components for writing tests for Yii project, it's gonna be fun :).

Missed of autocomplete in bash console commands yii make me sad.

Having said all of that, I want to add that the purpose of this article is not to convince anyone to write tests or design following TDD patterns. I'm not going to change the world to what I think is good. It's just about showing how to use some tools together with Yii Framework.

While there is a reasonable amount of documentation regarding CForm (form builder) and file uploads seperately, there really is not any coverage of both in combination.

Many newcomers to Yii ask about the assets/ directory found under the webroot, and this article means to explain why it's there and how to work with it.

Many Yii users ask how to create helper classes and functions, and though there are numerous approaches spread out among the forum and wiki articles, this Tutorial tries to bring it all together in one place.

Please, note. This article is entirely based on a work done by me colleague developer, who hasn't got account on this webpage and also hasn't got time for writing this article. I'm writing it for him. I will try to forward him any comments that may appear, but can't assure if/when he'll be able to answer.
