Question

I am trying to autoload the forms found in my project under application/forms/*.php ( in this case, LoginForm.php ).

How do I configure Zends autoloader to load this form automatically? As I don’t want to use ugly namespaces I am enabling the fallback in my bootstrap. I haven’t got anything related to forms configured in my application.ini

thanks!

The default autoloader will load this for you. Make sure that you have checked the following:-

1. Your file is application/forms/Loginform.php

2. The file contains something like this:-

   class Application_Form_Loginform extends Zend_Form
   {
      //Take special note of the capitalisation - it is important
      // Also note it is Form NOT Forms
       public function init()
       {
           //Your code here
       }
   }
   

3. Call your class like this:-

   $form = new Application_Form_Loginform();
   

Take extra care over letter case, it is important that you get it exactly right or the autoloader will not find you class and will complain.
