accessing the getOptions() of Zend_Application_Bootstrap_Bootstrap

I'm using the default Zend_Application design pattern which loads a zend config ini file automatically in the application bootstrap and I need to ini file's variables across many models and controllers.

Right now, I'm solving it by settings the config object as a key into Zend_Registry:

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

Generally, I don't like using Zend_Registry, as it doesn't offer code auto complete in my IDE, and it's hard to keep track on what I have in the registry namespace.

Is there another way to access the Zend_Application's config ini?

Solution

  • In a controller you should be able to do:

    $this->getInvokeArg('bootstrap')->getOptions();

    to access the config. For models you really should be passing in the options you need. Otherwise your only choice is really the registry.
