margaux Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 Hi I know these forums are primarily for php users but I'm wondering if any of you also use Rails. After spending the best part of a year working in Ruby and Rails, I've been asked to revisit a php site I built a couple of years ago and add paypal or stripe payments functionality to it. How similar is Yii to Rails? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Yii was highly influenced by Rails, so you'll see a lot in common. For example, both use Active Record. And both are MVC. And both do auto-generation of scaffolding for you. So in terms of functionality and design, there's a lot of similarity. In fact, that's one of the reasons I like Yii so much, as Rails was the first framework (in any language) that I used. Of course, Yii is written in PHP and Rails in Ruby, so the actual code will be quite different. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
margaux Posted August 21, 2014 Author Share Posted August 21, 2014 Hi Larry Thanks for your reply (and apologies for the delayed response). Its interesting to learn that Yii is influenced by Rails, I think I could probably pick it up having somewhat gotten to grips with Rails. Kind regards, margaux Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
