Hi everyone, I am new to Yii and I have lots of questions. Some of these questions may not be specific to Yii but they are prompted by the capabilities and documentation of Yii. So far what I have seen in Yii is very promising for a serious productivity tool. Just so you understand where I am coming from I have written a few apps using the CodeIgniter Framework, but nothing that would impress a serious coder. I am semi-newbie. Questions are in no specific order.
- CDbConnection documentation states:
Quote
One can do prepared SQL execution and bind parameters to the prepared SQL:Can someone explain what this is, it sounds like a canned sql statement or some often re-used database request. A simple example would be great, I didn't understand the example in the documentation.
- When moving the application to the production server do we only include the files under the application folder or are all the files in the root install required?
- Is there any capability in the framework for handling images, ie watermarking and image resizing? Or will this have to be implemented as an extension?
- If I want to create a separate interface for the backend and frontend of an application should I create two separate applications ie "testdrive is frontend" new folder on same level "backend is backend" anyway this seems like a common requirement any pointers?
Thanks in advance for any input from the community, I have many more questions and obviously I must take responsibility for answering my own questions. I appreciate the time people take to reply to newbie questions. I am scouring the docs now and looking at the generated files. Soon I hope to be able to help other newbies.
Take care,
