I read the article. It’s a tutorial on using Yii to connect via SOAP to a Flex/Flash app. The author does provide quite a bit of praise about the Yii framework.

Here’s a brief snippet from the article.

Yii (an acronym for ’Yes, it is’, pronounced “E”) is a high-performance, component-based, Web application framework written in PHP 5. Yii makes it easier to create and maintain Web applications and is one of the fastest, most efficient PHP frameworks around. One of the many reasons we will be using Yii is its great support for building SOAP servers. One drawback to using SOAP is the need to create the WSDL document. Writing WSDL documents can be a little tricky and difficult. Yii removes all the difficulty by building our WSDL documents for us based on simple PHP doc comments we place around the methods we want to add to our WSDL definitions. This makes turning a Yii application into a SOAP server a snap.

Apparently there was another article in March 2009 about Yii, but I didn’t have a subscription at the time so I didn’t read it. If you currently don’t subscribe, to PHP Architect, I highly recommend it (even though it’s pricey).

thanks [canreo],

I was kinda surprised last month, because in that issue they were talking about PHP frameworks and I didn’t see Yii in the list (this is my first full issue). I’m glad they published this article.

The author (Jeff Winesett) definitely likes Yii

Go Yii, GO!

Is there a comprehensive tutorial for Yii and SOAP? Is it worth $5?

Of course it’s worth $5. It is “THE” PHP magazine!

however, it’s NOT an overall “how-to use SOAP services with Yii”.

The March 09 Article was a 7 pages introduction to the framework. It mainly described how to create a simple application with yiic and how controllers and views works on the framework.

It was the first time I heard about Yii
