Zend Bootstrap.php usage

[john_w3]

Hi,

I have some code in my Zend index.php that I would like to move to my Bootstrap.php
public/index.php
application/Bootstrap.php

For example, these two lines:

$ini_constants = new Zend_Config_Ini(APPLICATION_PATH."/configs/constants.ini", 
APPLICATION_ENV);
Zend_Registry::set('ini_constants',  $ini_constants);

This is what Bootstrap.php looks like now:

class Bootstrap extends Zend_Application_Bootstrap_Bootstrap
{
	public function WHAT_SHOULD_I_CALL_THIS_FUNCTION()
	{
		// Should I put my code here?
	}
}

My questions ....
1. What should I use instead of: WHAT_SHOULD_I_CALL_THIS_FUNCTION:
2. Is inside that function the correct place to put my code from index.php?
3. How do I get that function to run? I have the below at the bottom of my index.php

$application->bootstrap()->run();


I am using Zend version 1.11.11

Thank you.

I don't know anything about the zend framework. But if you are calling this: $application->bootstrap()->run(); and bootstrap is a method that returns that Bootstrap object type, then you want to name your function run(). Call parent::run() as the first line within it, then continue with putting any data you need. I'm assuming that the run method is inherited from the Zend_Application_Bootstrap_Bootstrap class, but you can override it in your child and call the parent when you want. If the data you want to move is located before the $application's boostrap run call, then you probably want to set that prior to parent call to the run.
