PSR bridge

Transform your Yii2 applications into high-performance, PSR-compliant powerhouses
Supporting traditional SAPI, RoadRunner, FrankenPHP, and worker-based architectures

Available deployment options

High-Performance Worker Mode

Long-running PHP workers for higher throughput and lower latency.

Features

Installation

composer require yii2-extensions/psr-bridge:^0.3

Quick start

Worker mode (FrankenPHP)

<?php

declare(strict_types=1);

// disable PHP automatic session cookie handling
ini_set('session.use_cookies', '0');

require_once dirname(__DIR__) . '/vendor/autoload.php';

use yii2\extensions\frankenphp\FrankenPHP;
use yii2\extensions\psrbridge\http\Application;

// Load environment variables from .env file
$dotenv = Dotenv\Dotenv::createImmutable(dirname(__DIR__));
$dotenv->safeLoad();

// production default (change to 'true' for development)
define('YII_DEBUG', filter_var($_ENV['YII_DEBUG'] ?? false, FILTER_VALIDATE_BOOLEAN));
// production default (change to 'dev' for development)
define('YII_ENV', $_ENV['YII_ENV'] ?? 'prod');

require_once dirname(__DIR__) . '/vendor/yiisoft/yii2/Yii.php';

$config = require_once dirname(__DIR__) . '/config/web/app.php';

$app = new Application($config);
$runner = new FrankenPHP($app);

$runner->run();

Worker mode (RoadRunner)

<?php

declare(strict_types=1);

require __DIR__ . '/../vendor/autoload.php';

use yii2\extensions\psrbridge\http\Application;
use yii2\extensions\roadrunner\RoadRunner;

define('YII_DEBUG', filter_var(getenv('YII_DEBUG'), FILTER_VALIDATE_BOOLEAN));
define('YII_ENV', getenv('YII_ENV') ?? 'prod');

require __DIR__ . '/../vendor/yiisoft/yii2/Yii.php';

$config = require dirname(__DIR__) . '/config/web/app.php';

$app = new Application($config);
$runner = new RoadRunner($app);

$runner->run();

PSR-7 Conversion

// Convert Yii2 request to PSR-7
$request = Yii::$app->request;
$psr7Request = $request->getPsr7Request();

// Convert Yii2 response to PSR-7
$response = Yii::$app->response;
$psr7Response = $response->getPsr7Response();

// Emit PSR-7 response
$emitter = new yii2\extensions\psrbridge\emitter\SapiEmitter();
$emitter->emit($psr7Response);

Note

This shows the low-level conversion API. Serving a full request in a long-running worker goes through the handle() → emit → finalize() cycle (or a runner). See Response lifecycle finalization.

Worker lifecycle defaults

In long-running workers, keep Application lifecycle defaults unless you have a specific requirement:

• useSession=true
• syncCookieValidation=true
• resetUploadedFiles=true

Warning

Keep request-scoped components (request, response, errorHandler, session, user) out of Application::$persistentComponents.

Components listed in Application::$persistentComponents (defaults to db and cache) keep loaded instances across requests.

Define lifecycle flags before run() (via config or property setters).

$config = [
    'class' => Application::class,
    // disable session and cookie validation sync for stateless REST APIs.
    // keep resetUploadedFiles=true (default) for request isolation.
    'useSession' => false,
    'syncCookieValidation' => false,
    'resetUploadedFiles' => true,
];

Smart Body Parsing

The bridge automatically parses incoming PSR-7 request bodies based on the Content-Type header and your configured parsers (for example, application/json), ensuring Yii::$app->request->post() works seamlessly in worker mode without extra boilerplate.
