Yii Framework

Yes, it is Yii - PHP framework and a solid base for modern maintainable applications.

“Yii2 is legacy.”

Meanwhile, I’m rebuilding the Yii2 Debug Panel for 2026. 🐘🔥

PHP 8.3+.
Yii 2.0 / 22.x.
Zero frontend runtime dependencies.
PicoCSS-inspired semantic UI.
Vanilla JS.
SCSS → compressed CSS.
Inline SVG icons.
Web Component toolbar with Shadow DOM.

🎁 Yii2 Debug 2.1.28

A new release of Yii2 Debug is here. ✨

• Applied Yii2 coding standards.
• Fixed generated coverage reports.

• Fixed README logo sources for proper color scheme display.

❤️ Thank you for supporting our work on Yii2.

Yii2 22.0 is here.

And yes we just removed jQuery from the core.

- No more forced frontend stack.
- No Bootstrap dependency.
- The framework is now fully CSS/JS agnostic.

But we didn’t forget where we came from.

The new app-basic still ships with jQuery (via extension) for those who prefer the classic approach.

Meanwhile:
- NPM instead of Bower (via php-forge/foxy).
- Composer-only autoload.
- Legacy extensions removed.
- PHP 8.5/8.6 support.

And the new app-basic?
Modern structure, RBAC, SQLite by default, full testing, PHPStan max.

Yii2 isn’t being maintained.

It’s being rebuilt.

Inertia v3, apps are coming next.

Just shipped a new release for yii2-extensions/phpstan 🚀

Now it supports precise type inference for Yii::$app->params, including nested arrays and exact array shapes. That means better static analysis, safer refactors, and fewer surprises in Yii2 apps.

Latest changelog highlights also include dynamic stub generation for Yii::$app and support for custom application types.

Yii2 is still evolving.

Yii3 DI container hits different ⚡

👉 PSR-11 compliant.
👉 Lazy loading out of the box.
👉 Powerful definitions (callables, configs, factories).
👉 Zero magic, pure control.

yiisoft/di isn’t just a container… it’s a mindset.

Clean architecture. Predictable behavior. No surprises.
If you still think PHP DI is messy… you’re using the wrong tool 👀

⭐ Give it a star and rethink your container game https://t.co/ImtGNVheAl

PHP frameworks in 2026:
Laravel: "We have Telescope".
Symfony: "We have the Web Profiler". Yii2: "We have an AI duck that debugs your code" .
Not a joke. Debug Duck analyzes your requests, exceptions, and queries in real time using any LLM.

And yes it works with Laravel and Symfony too. Open source. Free models. Zero config.

Yii2… but make it 2026 🚀

A fully modernized developer experience:
• Clean, real-time debug panel ⚡
• Inspector with health, routes, DB & metrics 📊
• Built-in tools for testing, static analysis & profiling 🔍
• Designed for long-running apps & modern PHP 🧠This isn’t just nostalgia it’s evolution.

Old frameworks don’t die… they get rewritten properly. 😏🔥

[Wilmer Arambula @Terabytesoftw]

Yii2 + Inertia v3 + Vue ⚡

No jQuery. No legacy JS. Just clean architecture.

Yes, Yii2 is still evolving and it feels more modern than ever.

Welcome to the present 🚀

[Wilmer Arambula @Terabytesoftw]

Yii2 is “dead”, they said… 💀

Meanwhile:
👉 Inertia v3.
👉 Vue v3.
👉 Flowbite (TailwindCSS).
👉 Vite.
👉 Zero jQuery.
👉 Clean modern UI.

Same framework. New mindset.

Maybe the problem was never Yii2… 👀🔥

@tideways Great. At https://t.co/19O1EqGdMs it still lists 1 and 2 versions only.

[Tideways Profiler @tideways]

Tideways supports Yii3!

Yii3, a modern PHP framework years in the making, has been released.

Tideways supports Yii3 out of the box, with automatic instrumentation and zero code changes.

Looking forward to seeing what the community builds with it.

Fun fact. Yii3 has the strictest typing in the whole PHP frameworks universe with Psalm level 1 (strongest) which is similar to PhpStan level 10.
