Yii 2 Benchmark Application

NOTE Yii 2 and the relevant applications and extensions are still under heavy development. We may make significant changes without prior notices. Please do not use them for production. Please consider using Yii v1.1 if you have a project to be deployed for production soon.

Yii 2 Benchmark Application is an application built to demonstrate the minimal overhead introduced by the Yii framework. The application contains a single page which only renders the "hello world" string.

The application attempts to simulate the scenario in which you can achieve the best performance when using Yii. It does so by assuming that both of the main application configuration and the page content are cached in memory, and the application enables pretty URLs.

DIRECTORY STRUCTURE

  protected/          contains application source code
      controllers/    contains Web controller classes
  index.php           the entry script

REQUIREMENTS

The minimum requirement by Yii is that your Web server supports PHP 5.3.?.

INSTALLATION

If you do not have Composer, you may download it from http://getcomposer.org/ or run the following command on Linux/Unix/MacOS:

curl -s http://getcomposer.org/installer | php

You can then install the Bootstrap Application using the following command:

php composer.phar create-project --stability=dev yiisoft/yii2-app-benchmark yii-benchmark

Now you should be able to access the benchmark page using the URL

http://localhost/yii-benchmark/index.php/site/hello

In the above, we assume yii-benchmark is directly under the document root of your Web server.

Note that in order to install some dependencies you must have php_openssl extension enabled.
