Registering Zend Database Adapter in Registry

Question

I am looking to register a reference to the main Database Adapter in the Registry during Bootstrapping so it can be used elsewhere in my site (specifically the Authorisation

Answer 1

Here is what i do:

Inside the bootstrap:

define('CONFIG_FILE', '../config/general.ini');
define('APP_MODE', 'development');

Inside the Initializer:

 /**
 * Initialize data bases
 * 
 * @return void
 */
public function initDb ()
{
    $options = Zend_Registry::get('conf');
    $db = Zend_Db::factory($options->database);
    $db->query(new Zend_Db_Expr('SET NAMES utf8'));
    Zend_Registry::set('db', $db);
}

public function initConfig ()
{
    if (file_exists(CONFIG_FILE) && is_readable(CONFIG_FILE)) {
        $conf = new Zend_Config_Ini(CONFIG_FILE, APP_MODE);
        Zend_Registry::set('conf', $conf);
    } else {
        throw new Zend_Config_Exception('Unable to load config file');
    }
}

And finaly my config file looks like this:

[production]
database.adapter         = pdo_Mysql
database.params.host     = db.example.com
database.params.username = dbuser
database.params.password = secret
database.params.dbname   = dbname

; Overloaded configuration from production

[development : production]
database.params.host     = localhost
database.params.username = root
database.params.password = 

Take a look at:

• Zend_Db::Factory()
• Zend_Config_Ini
• Zend_Registry
