PHP
---
Yii 1.1 was developed to be compatible with PHP 5.2. Yii 2.0 minimum requirement is PHP 5.4 that is a huge improvement
in both performance and features. And since these features are actually used you need to get yourself familiar with them.
Here's the list:
- [Namespaces](http://php.net/manual/en/language.namespaces.php).
- [Anonymous functions](http://php.net/manual/en/functions.anonymous.php).
- Short array syntax. It's easy, just use `[` and `]` instead of `array(` and `)`.
- Short `echo` in form of `<?=` used in framework views. In PHP 5.4 it's always available unlike
[`<?` that isn't safe to use](http://php.net/manual/en/language.basic-syntax.phptags.php).
- [SPL](http://php.net/manual/en/book.spl.php).
- [Late Static Bindings](http://php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.late-static-bindings.php).
- [Date and Time](http://php.net/manual/en/book.datetime.php).
- [Traits](http://php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.traits.php).
- [intl](http://php.net/manual/en/book.intl.php). Yii 2.0 has many convenience wrappers for intl features in `i18n`
component but it worth reading anyway to undestand it better.
