Summary

In this chapter, we covered how to configure Yii to run console commands in a manner consistent with our web applications. We also covered the seven built-in console commands in brief. Additionally, we covered how to create our own console commands, how to pass parameters to our command, how to return values properly from within our code, and how to format the output of our commands.

In the next chapter, we'll expand our mastery of Yii by learning how to use and write migrations, how to use database access objects (DAO), and how to use Yii's built-in Query Builder.
