Hi Andrea,I used your zend.zif . I follow your directory structure. In the controller i wrote like $this->view->name = ‘Hai Sravanthi!’;In views i create “templates” folder, in this i store the template file like view/templates/login/index.tplin index.tpl ,i wrote like {$name}I am not getting any output . when i use $this->render(‘index.tpl’); in controller it gives a exception like script ‘login/index-tpl.phtml’ not found in path (D:/xamp/htdocs/sampleproject/application/views\scripts/) I think the file extention is not taking correctly.Please give the solution for this problem. And explain how to access the template files .Regards,Sravanthi.

Hi, I currently have an established site running with smarty template but I am really keen to integrate the zend framework as the site is getting out of hand so want to make the code much more manageable? Will I be able to do this and can you advise or do you need a lot more info? Thanks

Hi AndreaI found this article rather useful but it is a little out of date for Zend Framework 1.10, so I thought you might like to know that I’ve written an article on my own blog – mooduino.co.uk – showing how to use this technique with the current version of the library. In particular, it shows how to configure with a .ini file, the new Bootstrap class and using Smarty with both Zend_View and Zend_Layout.Michael

thanks for this article, I was able to adapt it quite quickly to my codebase. I also enjoy the aforementioned book, although I started it, I ended up taking a step back to get some more fundamentals under my belt first and now am just coming back to zend framework. I would reccommend to anyone starting out with a php from novice to professional type book, then going to something for zend framework.

Hi Pravin, That error means that the Zend folder is not in your include path. so the line: require_once 'Zend/Loader.php'; fails as the Loader.php file is not found. Make sure the Zend folder is in your include path. The bootstrap.php file attempts to include the Zend folder in the include path with the lines:


// Set our include path
$include_path = get_include_path().PATH_SEPARATOR;
$include_path .= SITE_ROOT.'/application/lib'.PATH_SEPARATOR;
$include_path .= SITE_ROOT.'/application/models'.PATH_SEPARATOR;
$include_path .= SITE_ROOT.'/application/include'.PATH_SEPARATOR;
set_include_path($include_path);

however for the lines above to work the SITE_ROOT defined variable must be correctly set, which means that in your case this: dirname($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']) should return the following: C:\wamp\www\zend but in your case is returning: C:\wamp\ So to make it work correctly you have the following options: 1) change your "DocumentRoot" in your apache configuration file, or VirtualHost block to point to C:\wamp\www\zend\htdocs so it should be DocumentRoot C:/wamp/www/zend/htdocs or 2) change this line in the bootstrap.php file, from: define("SITE_ROOT", dirname($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'])); to define("SITE_ROOT", "C:/wamp/www/zend"); hope it helps andrea
