Yii framework on Nginx - Page doesn't load

Question

I am trying to collaborate Nginx and Yii. I have set nginx root directory as the yii webapp as - yiic webapp /usr/share/nginx/app

In this directory I have some number of default files like yii's index.php, index-test.php along with the essential folders like protected, themes, css and images. Also I have my own files; phpinfo.php to print phpinfo() and getAttribute.php to print some columns from the mysql table history. I am able to display the phpinfo when I hit http://localhost/phpinfo.php but I can't show the output of getAttribute.php-

#getAttribute.php
<?php
public function attributeLabels() {
return array(
    Yii::t('app','model.history.sfExternalfield')=>array(
            'External Field'=>Yii::t('app','model.history.sfExternalfield'),
            'Delivery Status'=>Yii::t('app','model.history.deliveryStatus'),
    )
);
}
?>
<html>
<body><?php
print_r(attributeLabels()); 
?></body>
</html>
<?php ?>

Is there something wrong with this code?

first thing you can't have the public modifier here without having the function within a class. Second, tell me where is this file? in the root folder, along with index.php etc, or within a subfolder? — bool.dev

@bool.dev, Thanks for replying. I'll remove public and check it out. And yes, this file is in the root folder, along with the index.php and other default files. — Hussain

There are two things wrong with the code:

As i mentioned in the comment, you can't have the public keyword without a class, so you have to remove that first.
Secondly since this file is not being accessed through the index.php, but directly, it means that the framework is not yet loaded/initialized. So you don't have access to the Yii class yet. To do that you'll have to include the Yii class, somewhat like this:
```
$yii='path/to/framework/yii.php';
require_once($yii);
// now Yii is available and you can call Yii::t();
```

my framework folder is at /Documents/yii-1.1.12.b600af/framework. When I set $yii variable to this path, it doesn't work. I get Server Error in google-chrome. Should I set $yii to /Documents/yii-1.1.12.b600af/framework/yiic.php or some other file?

Updated $yii to the path to yii.php which is /Documents/yii-1.1.12.b600af/framework/yii.php and it seems to work. It gives

Array ( [model.history.sfExternalfield] => Array ( [External Field] => model.history.sfExternalfield [Delivery Status] => model.history.deliveryStatus ) )

in the browser, but not the actual data from history model. Thanks anyway man.

model - "history" created by model and crud commands from yiic prompt works fine in the framework when I hit - http://localhost/index.php?r=history. I think, maybe I should have an - MVC pattern for my getAttribute.php

yes you are right, about going for an mvc pattern, is the way. if you tell me what is your actual goal of this file i could probably give you more details.
