The basics of Zend_Application are fairly simple:
Create an
application/Bootstrap.phpfile, with the classBootstrap.Create an
application/configs/application.iniconfiguration file with the base configuration necessary forZend_Application.Modify your
public/index.phpto utilizeZend_Application.
First, create your Bootstrap class. Create a file,
application/Bootstrap.php, with the following contents:
<?php
class Bootstrap extends Zend_Application_Bootstrap_Bootstrap
{
}
Now, create your configuration. For this tutorial, we will use an
INI style configuration; you may, of course, use an
XML, JSON, YAML, or
PHP configuration file as well. Create the file
application/configs/application.ini, and provide the following
contents:
[production] phpSettings.display_startup_errors = 0 phpSettings.display_errors = 0 includePaths.library = APPLICATION_PATH "/../library" bootstrap.path = APPLICATION_PATH "/Bootstrap.php" bootstrap.class = "Bootstrap" resources.frontController.controllerDirectory = APPLICATION_PATH "/controllers" [staging : production] [testing : production] phpSettings.display_startup_errors = 1 phpSettings.display_errors = 1 [development : production] phpSettings.display_startup_errors = 1 phpSettings.display_errors = 1
Now, let's modify your gateway script,
public/index.php. If the file does not exist, create
it; otherwise, replace it with the following contents:
<?php
// Define path to application directory
defined('APPLICATION_PATH')
|| define('APPLICATION_PATH',
realpath(dirname(__FILE__) . '/../application'));
// Define application environment
defined('APPLICATION_ENV')
|| define('APPLICATION_ENV',
(getenv('APPLICATION_ENV') ? getenv('APPLICATION_ENV')
: 'production'));
// Typically, you will also want to add your library/ directory
// to the include_path, particularly if it contains your ZF installed
set_include_path(implode(PATH_SEPARATOR, array(
dirname(dirname(__FILE__)) . '/library',
get_include_path(),
)));
/** Zend_Application */
require_once 'Zend/Application.php';
// Create application, bootstrap, and run
$application = new Zend_Application(
APPLICATION_ENV,
APPLICATION_PATH . '/configs/application.ini'
);
$application->bootstrap()
->run();
You may note that the application environment constant value looks
for an environment variable "APPLICATION_ENV". We recommend setting
this in your web server environment. In Apache, you can set this
either in your vhost definition, or in your .htaccess
file. We recommend the following contents for your
public/.htaccess file:
SetEnv APPLICATION_ENV development
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -s [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -l [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^.*$ - [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^.*$ index.php [NC,L]
Learn about mod_rewrite
The above rewrite rules allow access to any file under your virtual host's document root. If there are files you do not want exposed in this way, you may want to be more restrictive in your rules. Go to the Apache website to learn more about mod_rewrite.
At this point, you're all set to start taking advantage of
Zend_Application.
