Question

I am a beginner of Zend framework. I am just practicing with few tutorial projects. In some project I have found the below codes in layout.phtml but I don’t understand what is the purpose of these codes.

 <?php echo $this->headMeta(); ?> 
 <?php echo $this->headTitle(); ?> 

Please explain the above two lines.

Thanks

I suggest you to start accepting some questions first before asking

<?php echo $this->headTitle(); ?> //This will be in your layout/phtml file,giving the title
<?php echo $this->headMeta(); ?> // Giving any meta info

The purpose of adding this is say you have two controllers FooController and BarController .You want to give title foo to the webpage while executing foo controller

Class FooController extends Zend_Controller_Action {
public function init(){

$this->view->headTitle('FOO');
}

}

In the same way you can give different title for another controller also

Class BarController extends Zend_Controller_Action {
public function init(){

$this->view->headTitle('BAR');
}

}

Same applies for Meta also
