I am working on an application written in Zend Framework. I want to create a stand-alone API. I'm copying over from public/index.php
, and here is the key code on that:
/** 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();
I have copied that over minus the run()
directive, and now I'm trying to write db queries.. I've tried:
$application->_connection; //not declared, fails
$application->_db; //same deal
$application->select(); //same deal
I want to run things like:
$result = $application->_some_connection_object_but_where->query( .. );
Can you help me answer the "but where" part? Thanks
--EDITED INFO--
Also, to answer the great response I had on this, I do have a file called /application/Bootstrap.php
with a class called:
class Bootstrap extends Zend_Application_Bootstrap_Bootstrap
and this method for connection:
protected function _initDb()
{
$appConfig = new Zend_Config_Ini('../application/configs/application.ini', APPLICATION_ENV);
Zend_Registry::set('appConfig',$appConfig);
$dbConfig = new Zend_Config_Ini('../application/configs/db.ini', APPLICATION_ENV);
Zend_Registry::set('dbConfig',$dbConfig);
$db = new Zend_Db_Adapter_Pdo_Mysql(array(
'host' => $dbConfig->database->params->host,
'username' => $dbConfig->database->params->username,
'password' => $dbConfig->database->params->password,
'dbname' => $dbConfig->database->params->dbname,
));
$db->setFetchMode(Zend_Db::FETCH_ASSOC);
$db->getConnection(); // force a connection... do not wait for 'lazy' connection binding later
Zend_Registry::set('db',$db);
Zend_Db_Table::setDefaultAdapter($db);
}
