Question

I am using Zend Framework v 1.10

I have created a custom function in the bootstrap file:

<?php

class Bootstrap extends Zend_Application_Bootstrap_Bootstrap
{

    public function init(){   }

    public function helloworld(){ echo 'hello';}
}
?>

How do I call the helloworld() function from an Action within the Index Controller?

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks

Anyone can call a function in the bootstrap class without making any object of the class. Bootstrap automatically calls custom functions which have the _init keyword as a prefix. Such as:

public function _initIndia() { 
     echo 'Proud to be an Indian'; 
}
