Hi All,

I am basically Java developer. I would like to develop a site using PHP and have chosen YII framework.

I am just wondering, How much depth I need to learn PHP to work with YII framework. I know bit php fundamentals.

Can I start directly?

If I have to study before working on YII, Please provide your suggestions. Which books I need to read and all?

Thank you in advance

Regards,

taraka

If you are comfortable with OOP then it will be pretty easy to dig into Yii. At least that’s what J2EE developers moved from Spring to Yii told me. Still, PHP basics are required so I can recommend this book and, of course, official guide. At the very minimum you should skim this part.

First learn OOP in php

  • Class

  • Constant

  • Variable

  • Function

  • Private

  • Public

  • Protected

  • Static

  • Extends

  • Abstract

  • and Impliment

then you need to understand the MVC concept
