It tries to avoid all the chaos that developers are tending to create while writing scripts such as never using created objects, spelling mistakes etc. Forms creation and validationany web application requires lots of forms through which necessary data is collected from users. It is likely that the users may feed invalid data which my in turns increase the time for its processing or fire error or bugs back to users. Thus form entry could be a lengthy job for end users. To avoid this mess, Yii provides form creation and data validation tools that will take care of the form design. The data can be validated with the help of various widgets and data validate objects. DOA - Data access objects are another beauty of this framework. All the web applications are bound to use a database and to avoid any kind of repetition of data connection and SQL queries to fetch desired data set; Yii provides a set of database objects. Debugging and error fixing - With any framework, it is very tedious to locate exact error point and understand the cause of the error. Yii has been designed with a well compliant debugger who makes it possible to run through every line of code and detect error. The error messages rendered by the framework are easy to understand and are displayed categorically. This really saved the developer’s time to analyze and correct the error.
