Question

I am trying to register my default database adapter in my bootstrap.php file so that I can access it where ever I am. This is my code so far:

//bootstrap.php
protected function _initDb()
{
    $dbAdapter = Zend_Db::factory(Zend_Registry::get('configuration')
                                       ->resources->db->adapter, 
                                  Zend_Registry::get('configuration')
                                       ->resources->db->params->toArray());

    Zend_Registry::set('dbAdapter', $dbAdapter);
    Zend_Db_Table_Abstract::setDefaultAdapter($dbAdapter);
}

I am then trying to call it in one of my models by saying:

//exampleModel.php
$select = $this->_getDbAdapter()
                ->select()
                ->from(array('t' => $this->_getTable()->getName()), 
                       array('name'))....

However I am just getting the error:

Call to undefined method Application_Model_Example::_getdbAdapter() in...

So obviously it is looking for it within my current class and can’t find it…

Answer 1

You need this in your Model_Example

public function _getSqlAdapter()
{
    return Zend_Registry::get('dbAdapter');
}

Or directly call Zend_Db_Table::getDefaultAdapter() instead of $this->_getDbAdapter()
