Question

I’m quite new to ZF, and right now, i try to write a tiny app, based on ZF. It works more or less fine until now. I wanna access my db- data. For starters, i just want to use query-string, before I start messing araound with zend_db. So to keep a nice mvc-structure, I created application/models/IndexMapper.php

class Application_Models_IndexMapper{...}

it just contains one function by now to see if it works

 public function test(){
    return ('yay');
}

In my IndexController, which is working, i try to access my model by

$indexMapper = new Application_Models_IndexMapper();
$x = $indexMapper->test();

but the first line throws an

Fatal error: Class 'Application_Models_IndexMapper' not found in /path/to/application/controllers/IndexController.php on line 31

As I’m new, I don’t understand the more complex tutorials and they don’t help me fix my problem. What am I doing wrong? Do I have to include it somehow?

Thanks

edit: my application/bootstrap.php

<?php

defined('APPLICATION_PATH')
    or define('APPLICATION_PATH' , dirname(__FILE__));


defined('APPLICATION_ENVIRONMENT')
    or define('APPLICATION_ENVIRONMENT' , 'development');


require_once 'Zend/Loader.php';
Zend_Loader::registerAutoload();


$frontController = Zend_Controller_Front::getInstance();

$frontController->setControllerDirectory(APPLICATION_PATH . '/controllers');

$frontController->setParam('env', APPLICATION_ENVIRONMENT);

Zend_Layout::startMvc(APPLICATION_PATH . '/layouts/scripts');


//Doctype
$view = Zend_Layout::getMvcInstance()->getView();
$view->doctype('HTML5');

$view->addHelperPath('App/View/Helper', 'App_View_Helper');


unset($frontController);

Well, I guess my tutorial wasn’t very helpful. I’ll do as recommended, and start over from scratch. Thanks though
