Chapter 2. Getting Started
The real pleasures and benefits of Yii are quickly revealed by simply using it. In this chapter, we will see how the concepts introduced in the previous chapter, Meet Yii, are manifested in an example Yii application. In the spirit of Yii's philosophy to follow conventions, we will write a Hello,
World! program to try out this new framework.
In this chapter, we will cover:
Yii Framework installation
Creating a new application
Creating controllers and views
Adding dynamic content to view files
Yii request routing and linking pages together
Before we can use it we need to first install the framework. Let's do that now.
