Question

I’m developing a zend application.I have in “config.ini”:

resources.db.adapter = "PDO_MYSQL"
resources.db.isDefaultAdapter = true
resources.db.params.host = "localhost"
resources.db.params.username = "root"
resources.db.params.password = "root"
resources.db.params.dbname = "test"

To start a connection with my Db and query it what else should I set?

Thanks

You need to initialize your connection in the bootstrap:

class Bootstrap extends Zend_Application_Bootstrap_Bootstrap {
    protected function _initDatabase(){
        // get config from config/application.ini
        $config = $this->getOptions();

        $db = Zend_Db::factory($config['resources']['db']['adapter'], $config['resources']['db']['params']);

        //set default adapter
        Zend_Db_Table::setDefaultAdapter($db);

        //save Db in registry for later use
        Zend_Registry::set("db", $db);
    }
}

You don’t have to save the connection in the registry.
