i am not sure what the error is . please help me …………….

Answer 1

The error is due to your config file.

You’re not providing enough parameters for the navigation container to determine the correct page type, Zend_Navigation_Page_Mvc or Zend_Navigation_Page_Uri.

Also, you know there’s a navigation resource plugin, right?

UPDATE

Get rid of the <nav> wrapper element. It’s trying to interpret that as a page.

That or do follow the example and specify the config section correctly

$config = new Zend_Config_Xml('/path/to/navigation.xml', 'nav');
$container = new Zend_Navigation($config);
