Meet Yii: a new PHP framework
Lately, I've been searching for a robust, efficient and well documented PHP framework. In case you are not familiar with the term framework, all you need to know is that a framework is a set of programming code that is usually targetted for general purpose applications and is supposed to take the burden of coding repetitive tasks from the developer, leaving him/her to concentrate more on the business logic. So, a web application framework -and in our case- a PHP framework is a set of classes that deal with data validation, connection to databases, authentication, session management, etc., features that any web application has.
