Question

I’m starting a new project built on Zend Framework. I know all about controllers, layouts and views. But I don’t know how to add a MySQL resource.

Basically, I would like to have some model classes with getters and setters and for each, a resource class witch would handle MySQL queries. These resources classes need access to a DB class which performs the actual queries. The configuration for the DB would have to be in a separate file somewhere as either XML data, .ini or PHP array.

How can I obtain that? Where should I put each the files (right now, I have the default Zend directory structure)?

You dont need to create an instace of connection to database ,Zend does it automatically..just add these following to your config file

resources.db.adapter = "PDO_MYSQL"
resources.db.isDefaultTableAdapter = true;
resources.db.params.host = "yourserver"
resources.db.params.username = "username"
resources.db.params.password = "pwd"
resources.db.params.dbname = "dbname"
