Question

I’m trying to update my current project from 1.7 to 1.8. What do I have to change so that it does not break?

Answer 1

most features will still work with legacy code. try it out on your test environment and read the ZF change log. one important thing is that the loader works differently now. especially if you’re using autoload.

Until 1.7

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

Since 1.8

require_once 'Zend/Loader/Autoloader.php';
$loader = Zend_Loader_Autoloader::getInstance();
$loader->registerNamespace('Namespace_');
