Frequently asked questions
Is Yii still relevant?
Yes — it remains in use and appears in job listings; learning it broadens the frameworks you can work in.
How does it compare to Laravel?
Both are capable MVC frameworks; Yii leans on code generation and configuration, which is instructive to compare.
A note on using this project
Use this Yii/PHP project as a learning reference: read the code, run it locally, and adapt it to your own requirements rather than deploying it unchanged. If you reuse third-party components, check their licences first.
