Entry Scripts
 | 
						|
=============
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Entry scripts are the first chain in the application bootstrapping process. An application (either
 | 
						|
Web application or console application) has a single entry script. End users make requests to
 | 
						|
entry scripts which instantiate application instances and forward the requests to them.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Entry scripts for Web applications must be stored under Web accessible directories so that they
 | 
						|
can be accessed by end users. They are often named as `index.php`, but can also use any other names,
 | 
						|
provided Web servers can locate them.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Entry scripts for console applications are usually stored under the [base path](structure-applications.md)
 | 
						|
of applications and are named as `yii` (with the `.php` suffix). They should be made executable
 | 
						|
so that users can run console applications through the command `./yii <route> [arguments] [options]`.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Entry scripts mainly do the following work:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* Define global constants;
 | 
						|
* Register [Composer autoloader](http://getcomposer.org/doc/01-basic-usage.md#autoloading);
 | 
						|
* Include the [[Yii]] class file;
 | 
						|
* Load application configuration;
 | 
						|
* Create and configure an [application](structure-applications.md) instance;
 | 
						|
* Call [[yii\base\Application::run()]] to process the incoming request.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Web Applications <a name="web-applications"></a>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The following is the code in the entry script for the [Basic Web Application Template](start-installation.md).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```php
 | 
						|
<?php
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
defined('YII_DEBUG') or define('YII_DEBUG', true);
 | 
						|
defined('YII_ENV') or define('YII_ENV', 'dev');
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
// register Composer autoloader
 | 
						|
require(__DIR__ . '/../vendor/autoload.php');
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
// include Yii class file
 | 
						|
require(__DIR__ . '/../vendor/yiisoft/yii2/Yii.php');
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
// load application configuration
 | 
						|
$config = require(__DIR__ . '/../config/web.php');
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
// create, configure and run application
 | 
						|
(new yii\web\Application($config))->run();
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Console Applications <a name="console-applications"></a>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Similarly, the following is the code for the entry script of a console application:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```php
 | 
						|
#!/usr/bin/env php
 | 
						|
<?php
 | 
						|
/**
 | 
						|
 * Yii console bootstrap file.
 | 
						|
 *
 | 
						|
 * @link http://www.yiiframework.com/
 | 
						|
 * @copyright Copyright (c) 2008 Yii Software LLC
 | 
						|
 * @license http://www.yiiframework.com/license/
 | 
						|
 */
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
defined('YII_DEBUG') or define('YII_DEBUG', true);
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
// fcgi doesn't have STDIN and STDOUT defined by default
 | 
						|
defined('STDIN') or define('STDIN', fopen('php://stdin', 'r'));
 | 
						|
defined('STDOUT') or define('STDOUT', fopen('php://stdout', 'w'));
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
// register Composer autoloader
 | 
						|
require(__DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php');
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
// include Yii class file
 | 
						|
require(__DIR__ . '/vendor/yiisoft/yii2/Yii.php');
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
// load application configuration
 | 
						|
$config = require(__DIR__ . '/config/console.php');
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
$application = new yii\console\Application($config);
 | 
						|
$exitCode = $application->run();
 | 
						|
exit($exitCode);
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Defining Constants <a name="defining-constants"></a>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Entry scripts are the best place for defining global constants. Yii supports the following three constants:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
* `YII_DEBUG`: specifies whether the application is running in debug mode. When in debug mode, an application
 | 
						|
  will keep more log information, and will reveal detailed error call stacks if exceptions are thrown. For this
 | 
						|
  reason, debug mode should be used mainly during development. The default value of `YII_DEBUG` is false.
 | 
						|
* `YII_ENV`: specifies which environment the application is running in. This has been described in
 | 
						|
  more detail in the [Configurations](concept-configurations.md#environment-constants) section.
 | 
						|
  The default value of `YII_ENV` is `'prod'`, meaning the application is running in production environment.
 | 
						|
* `YII_ENABLE_ERROR_HANDLER`: specifies whether to enable the error handler provided by Yii. The default
 | 
						|
  value of this constant is true.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
When defining a constant, we often use the code like the following:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```php
 | 
						|
defined('YII_DEBUG') or define('YII_DEBUG', true);
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
which is equivalent to the following code:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```php
 | 
						|
if (!defined('YII_DEBUG')) {
 | 
						|
    define('YII_DEBUG', true);
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Clearly the former is more succinct and easier to understand.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Constant definitions should be done at the very beginning of an entry script so that they can take effect
 | 
						|
when other PHP files are being included.
