Question

Here is my complete error:

Strict Standards: Accessing static property
Bootstrap::$frontController as non static in
/Users/panda/Dropbox/www/_playground/myApp/Zend/Application/Resource/Frontcontroller.php
on line 145

Here is the function from my bootstrap

/*
* Zend_Registry get's born here so it can be accesed
*/
protected function _initSetupRegistry()
{

    self::$registry = new Zend_Registry(array(), ArrayObject::ARRAY_AS_PROPS);
    Zend_Registry::setInstance(self::$registry);

}

If you need more code, please let me know, I will like some tips for finding the problem, or if someone knows the exact problem.

Thank you!

What are you trying to achieve with this method?

If you just want an instance of the registry use Zend_Registry::getInstance(). You shouldn’t be constructing it (I’m not sure why they used a singleton pattern but didn’t make __construct private).

If you really want to replace an instance of Zend_Registry call Zend_Registry::_unsetInstance() first.

If you just want to set the static $registry variable so you can reference it later try:

self::$registry = Zend_Registry::getInstance(); 
self::$registry->set('configuration', 'myconfig');

But I’m not sure this is necessary because you can access Zend_Registry::getInstance() from any scope. So the above is the same as:

Zend_Registry::getInstance()->set('configuration', 'myconfig');

Which you can call anywhere.
