As we all know,there is application.ini file during the bootstrap period. The configuration file as a parameter passes into the Zend_Application;
public function __construct($environment, $options = null)
{
$this->_environment = (string) $environment;
#require_once 'Zend/Loader/Autoloader.php';
$this->_autoloader = Zend_Loader_Autoloader::getInstance();
if (null !== $options) {
if (is_string($options)) {
$options = $this->_loadConfig($options);
} elseif ($options instanceof Zend_Config) {
$options = $options->toArray();
} elseif (!is_array($options)) {
throw new Zend_Application_Exception('Invalid options provided; must be location of config file, a config object, or an array');
}
$this->setOptions($options);
}
}
2.Load the configuration file and convert it into array;
protected function _loadConfig($file)
{
$environment = $this->getEnvironment();
$suffix = strtolower(pathinfo($file, PATHINFO_EXTENSION));
switch ($suffix) {
case 'ini':
$config = new Zend_Config_Ini($file, $environment);
break;
case 'xml':
$config = new Zend_Config_Xml($file, $environment);
break;
case 'json':
$config = new Zend_Config_Json($file, $environment);
break;
case 'yaml':
$config = new Zend_Config_Yaml($file, $environment);
break;
case 'php':
case 'inc':
$config = include $file;
if (!is_array($config)) {
throw new Zend_Application_Exception('Invalid configuration file provided; PHP file does not return array value');
}
return $config;
break;
default:
throw new Zend_Application_Exception('Invalid configuration file provided; unknown config type');
}
return $config->toArray();
}
3.Use setOptions() method to pass the configuration to Zend MVC system
public function setOptions(array $options)
{
if (!empty($options['config'])) {
if (is_array($options['config'])) {
$_options = array();
foreach ($options['config'] as $tmp) {
$_options = $this->mergeOptions($_options, $this->_loadConfig($tmp));
}
$options = $this->mergeOptions($_options, $options);
} else {
$options = $this->mergeOptions($this->_loadConfig($options['config']), $options);
}
}
$this->_options = $options;
$options = array_change_key_case($options, CASE_LOWER);
$this->_optionKeys = array_keys($options);
if (!empty($options['phpsettings'])) {
$this->setPhpSettings($options['phpsettings']);
}
if (!empty($options['includepaths'])) {
$this->setIncludePaths($options['includepaths']);
}
if (!empty($options['autoloadernamespaces'])) {
$this->setAutoloaderNamespaces($options['autoloadernamespaces']);
}
if (!empty($options['autoloaderzfpath'])) {
$autoloader = $this->getAutoloader();
if (method_exists($autoloader, 'setZfPath')) {
$zfPath = $options['autoloaderzfpath'];
$zfVersion = !empty($options['autoloaderzfversion'])
? $options['autoloaderzfversion']
: 'latest';
$autoloader->setZfPath($zfPath, $zfVersion);
}
}
if (!empty($options['bootstrap'])) {
$bootstrap = $options['bootstrap'];
if (is_string($bootstrap)) {
$this->setBootstrap($bootstrap);
} elseif (is_array($bootstrap)) {
if (empty($bootstrap['path'])) {
throw new Zend_Application_Exception('No bootstrap path provided');
}
$path = $bootstrap['path'];
$class = null;
if (!empty($bootstrap['class'])) {
$class = $bootstrap['class'];
}
$this->setBootstrap($path, $class);
} else {
throw new Zend_Application_Exception('Invalid bootstrap information provided');
}
}
return $this;
}
