Php – Simple route with Zend framework 1.12

hrefPHProuteszend-framework

I'm looking for something that is simple but I don't know how to do it after many search. I look at the documentation of Zend 1.12 Route but I don't really understand.

I have these page in the Zend Framework : application/views/scripts/index/
index.phtml
contact.phtml

In the application/views/layouts/scripts/layout.phtml

I want to href to contac.phtml for example. I'm looking for something to do like :

$this->url('contact')

Then, it redirect to the page contact… But I tried to add an route in the bootstrap.php but I don't really know how…

$router->addRoute('contact',
              new Zend_Controller_Router_Route('application/scripts/index/contact.phtml'));

Thank you,

David

I think this is the simple codes for routing in zend framework:

  • on index.php you should not touch anything. Leave it as it is from Zend default when you create a project

  • on projectHomeDirectory/application/Bootstrap.php include this:

    protected function _initRoutes()
{
    $router = Zend_Controller_Front::getInstance()->getRouter();
    include APPLICATION_PATH . "/configs/routes.php";
}

  • create a routes.php file under projectHomeDirectory/application/configs/ and add there all the routes you want, for example:

    $route = new Zend_Controller_Router_Route(
    'author',
    array(
        'controller' => 'user',
        'action'     => 'index'
    ) 
);

$router->addRoute('author', $route);

Of course you then need to create the UserController the User model the sample module and the views.
