Create some custom function.

See this wiki for inspiration.

Could make a helper class and have Yii auto import.




class Helper {

    static function myFunction() {

        //...

    }

}

Then call it like




Helper::myFunction();

This is a solution similar to what does CHtml, and is what I usually do.

This wiki is also of Qiang, and allows to create shorter function.

The are absolutely equivalent, is just a question of taste.
