Zend Accessing your configuration data that's stored in application.ini

Zend Accessing your configuration data that's stored in application.ini

Zend_Application will read the data in your application.ini and make it available from your bootstrap's getOptions() method. It then sets the bootstrap as a parameter in the front controller. Note that the top level keys are all normalised to lowercase too.

You can then retrieve the options in a number of ways.

In the controller you can do this:


public function someAction()
{
$bootstrap = $this->getInvokeArg('bootstrap');
$options = $bootstrap->getOptions();
}


Outside of the controller you can do this:
$bootstrap = Zend_Controller_Front::getInstance()->getParam('bootstrap');
$options = $bootstrap->getOptions();



One downside is that $options is a nested array, and not a Zend_Config object. If you prefer to work with a Zend_Config object you need to create it yourself as Zend_Application discards the one it creates. The easiest way to do this is to create a new method in your bootstrap to create the Zend_Config object and store to the registry. 

protected function _initConfig()
{
$config = new Zend_Config($this->getOptions());
Zend_Registry::set('config', $config);
return $config;
}


You can then get at your config data wherever you need it. Try not to depend too much on Zend_Registry keys though, as it can make testing harder.
