PHP
---
Yii 1.1 was developed to be compatible with PHP 5.2. Yii 2.0 minimum requirement is PHP 5.4 that is a huge improvement
in both performance and features. And since these features are actually used you need to get yourself familiar with them.
Here's the list:
PHP Requirements
----------------
Yii 2.0 requires PHP 5.4 or above, which is a huge improvement over PHP 5.2 as required by Yii 1.1.
As a result, there are many differences at language level that you should pay attention to.
Below is a summary of the major changes regarding PHP:
-
[
Namespaces
](
http://php.net/manual/en/language.namespaces.php
)
.
-
[
Anonymous functions
](
http://php.net/manual/en/functions.anonymous.php
)
.
-
Short array syntax. It's easy, just use
`[`
and
`]`
instead of
`array(`
and
`)`
.
-
Short
`echo`
in form of
`<?=`
used in framework views. In PHP 5.4 it's always available unlike
[
`<?` that isn't safe to use
](
http://php.net/manual/en/language.basic-syntax.phptags.php
)
.
-
[
SPL
](
http://php.net/manual/en/book.spl.php
)
.
-
Short array syntax
`[...elements...]`
is used instead of
`array(...elements...)`
.
-
Short echo tags
`<?=`
are used in view files. This is safe to use starting from PHP 5.4.
-
[
SPL classes and interfaces
](
http://php.net/manual/en/book.spl.php
)
.
-
[
Late Static Bindings
](
http://php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.late-static-bindings.php
)
.
-
[
Date and Time
](
http://php.net/manual/en/book.datetime.php
)
.
-
[
Traits
](
http://php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.traits.php
)
.
-
[
intl
](
http://php.net/manual/en/book.intl.php
)
. Yii 2.0 has many convenient wrappers for intl features in
`i18n`
components but it is worth reading anyway to understand it better.
-
[
intl
](
http://php.net/manual/en/book.intl.php
)
. Yii 2.0 makes use of the
`intl`
PHP extension
to support internationalization features.
