Migrating pure PHP project to Yii framework

Question

I have almost completed a PHP project, using MVC, jQuery and Ajax. It is pure PHP project. I don\'t use any frameworks in the code right know. I would like to change that.

Answer 1

Since you already have a code in mvc, things will be much easier for you to migrate. However, while migrating to Yii, since it can generate controller and model very easily using gii, you can take the advantage of it.

So, first generate controller and model using gii, then you can replace your existing code (by replace I mean, substitute your code to the specific function in the controller and model) to the built in controller and model so that the functionality of your site still works. You can modify your view accordingly. But that won't be much of a work.

You can simply register your script for ajax, jquery and css. Those will work as well.

And yes, Yii is the best framework out there so take as much benefit as you can.
