Yii is one of the best and most popular PHP frameworks in the world which is component-based and used to build high-performance and robust web applications.

What is Yii2?

Yii is an open source and MVC design-based PHP Framework that makes it easier to develop web applications, especially those involving e-commerce.

It comes with prebuilt modules that allow developers to focus on their core business while leaving them with the flexibility to add custom features if necessary.

As we know Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern is a software design pattern that attempts to separate the user interface from the application logic. Yii framework provides a simple way to implement the MVC design pattern and has some built-in conventions for separating UI elements from business logic.

In Yii, the model represents the data stored in the database and the controller manages interactions between the model and view. Views are HTML documents that are rendered by controllers. Models are classes responsible for mapping database rows to objects that represent them.

Controllers are actions that perform tasks on models and return views. A controller performs three tasks:

fetching models from the model layer
rendering views based on the models returned and
performing validation checks before submitting changes to the server.
