使用Zend Framework定义常量的位置

Question

I have a few genuine constants that I would like to use in Zend Framework. I know I can set them in the index.php but this is not executed when running PHPUnit tests. (Not in this case, anyhow).

How else can I set these within the framework? The problem is that constants need to be declared outside the class. (I don't want class constants).

If all else fails, I can set them in my unit testing bootstrap, but I'd like to avoid the duplication if possible.

Answer 1

I always define them in the bootstrap file. But i do use the Zend_Registry instead of constants.

Zend_Registry::set('property1', 'value1');

//everywhere in your code
$value = Zend_Registry::get('property1');
