+ * PhpManager represents an authorization manager that stores authorization
+ * information in terms of a PHP script file.
+ *
+ * The authorization data will be saved to and loaded from a file
+ * specified by [[authFile]], which defaults to 'protected/data/rbac.php'.
+ *
+ * PhpManager is mainly suitable for authorization data that is not too big
+ * (for example, the authorization data for a personal blog system).
+ * Use [[DbManager]] for more complex authorization data.
+ *
+ * @property Item[] $items The authorization items of the specific type. This property is read-only.
+ * @property Rule[] $rules This property is read-only.
