Yii2 VS Phalcon

Yii is one of the oldest PHP frameworks, acronym as Yes It Is! It has 14.2k stars and 7k forks on GitHub. It is a fast, secure, and flexible PHP framework for web development, especially for building MVC architecture websites. It is an Object-Oriented PHP framework that requires knowledge of inheritance, polymorphism, etc.

In Yii Framework we have a middleware that will allow us to access our applications without the need to point the web server to the public directory of each template, so we will use the middleware SubFolder::class.

asset-packagist: This is the traditional Yii2 way, here we will add the following to our composer.json.

It is often preferable to manage Yii Assets programmatically. For example, when you use the widget in a page, it will automatically include the required css and javascript files, instead of asking you to manually find these files and include them. And when you upgrade the widget to a new version, it will automatically use the new version of the Yii Assets. In this tutorial, we will describe the powerful Yii Assets management capability provided in Yii Framework .

As we can see in the example above, we have defined the configuration of our packages in files .php (it doesn’t matter if they are YiiFramework packages or not), this allows us to define the configuration of each component in a very simple way to understand.

Now if we want to create an extension, under the code standard used in the Yii Framework v.3 packages, we can use yiisoft/template, provides us the tools necessary for our code to comply with good coding standards they are:

Now we understand how to do any configuration of any YiiFramework package or external, it is not necessary to have a single long and complex configuration file, we can organize it according to the group of configurations and Yii config will do the work for you, as well as the container it applies the definitions for you, with the automatic wiring facility in controllers, which makes it easy to access any container dependency without the need to use static access to it, or depend on the container itself.

Phalcon is open-source with 10.7k stars and 2k+ forks on GitHub. It is a full-stack framework for PHP that is characterized by high performance and low resource consumption. It is written or implemented as a C-extension or in C, which is integrated into PHP to improve performance. It has a user-friendly interface that simplifies PHP development and enhances the developer experience.

PHP itself is not that bad. Lack of a native ability to serve HTTP requests is annoying, but newer things like Phalcon help: https://phalcon.io/

Ah, was going to suggest Phalcon, but just noticed you said it's written in PHP, so I guess it's not that.

ports: phalcon 5.2.1[11]

Fixed Phalcon\Support\Debug to correctly calculate the documents URL for the hyperlinks #16223

A belated happy patch day to everyone, This is a small maintenance and security update. You will notice that LibreSSL no longer works with FreeRADIUS software due to hiding library internals that are used by the software. Your current install will continue to work, but we would recommend switching to OpenSSL to receive FreeRADIUS updates as they become available. Also, the infamous log_error() message is being phased out in the development version to end the questions of "Why is this log message an error?" and so with log_msg() each log line receives a more appropriate log level between error, warning and notice. Here are the full patch notes: o system: add statistics tree view containing vmstat memory characteristics o system: explicitly reopen main log file in case another log file was used and closed o system: tweak log_msg() to prepare log level adjustments migration away from log_error() o system: enforce config reload to fetch group membership in authentication tester o system: separate interface type icon from name column in interface widget o system: change system log default to "Notice" o system: UX tweaks on activity page o system: revised backend daemon startup delay o system: drop empty plugins_run() result o interfaces: migrate main clearing of interface data to ifctl o interfaces: fix display of special HTML characters in packet capture o interfaces: retain existing PPP settings on saving interface settings o interfaces: delete the correct lock of PPP device o interfaces: fix variable use in interface_proxyarp_configure() o firewall: wrap user rule registration in new function filter_core_rules_user() o firewall: simplify rule lookup by using filter_core_rules_user() o firewall: allow external dynamic address in NPT o firewall: remove extended VIP expansion from NAT rules o firewall: fix live view hostname lookup may result in HTTP 431 error o ipsec: remove side effect host route removal from Phase 1 page o unbound: do not stop on potential errors in start script o plugins: os-freeradius is no longer available for LibreSSL to allow updates of FreeRADIUS software o plugins: os-nginx 1.31[1] o plugins: os-wireguard now skips invalid peers for dashboard widget (contributed by jkellerer) o ports: expat 2.5.0[2] o ports: krb5 1.20.1[3] o ports: nss 3.85[4] o ports: phalcon 5.1.1[5] o ports: sudo 1.9.12p1[6] Stay safe, Your OPNsense team -- [1] https://github.com/opnsense/plugins/blob/stable/22.7/www/nginx/pkg-descr [2] https://github.com/libexpat/libexpat/blob/R_2_5_0/expat/Changes [3] https://web.mit.edu/kerberos/krb5-1.20/ [4] https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/security/nss/releases/nss_3_85.html [5] https://github.com/phalcon/cphalcon/releases/tag/v5.1.1 [6] https://www.sudo.ws/stable.html#1.9.12p1
