Question

I’m using Zend 1.8.4 and setting up a simple form test. My form class is located in ‘./application/forms/SectorSearch.php’ and the class name is

<?php
class Form_SectorSearch extends Zend_Form
{...}

My controller creates a new form in the init() method

<?php
class SectorController extends Zend_Controller_Action
{
    function init()
    {
        $this->initView();
        $form = new Form_SectorSearch(array(
            'method' => '/public/sector/search',
            'action' => 'post'));
        $this->view->form = $form;
    }
..
}

But i’m getting this error

Warning: Zend_Loader_Autoloader_Resource::include(/home/poconnell/projects/bhaa/application/forms/SectorSearch.php) [zend-loader-autoloader-resource.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/poconnell/projects/bhaa/library/Zend/Loader/Autoloader/Resource.php on line 178

Warning: Zend_Loader_Autoloader_Resource::include() [function.include]: Failed opening '/home/poconnell/projects/bhaa/application/forms/SectorSearch.php' for inclusion (include_path='/home/poconnell/projects/bhaa/library:/home/poconnell/projects/bhaa/application:.:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear') in /home/poconnell/projects/bhaa/library/Zend/Loader/Autoloader/Resource.php on line 178

Fatal error: Class 'Form_SectorSearch' not found in /home/poconnell/projects/bhaa/application/controllers/SectorController.php on line 19

I’m 100% sure the class is on the include path.

I think this is a bootstraping issue, and this is how i’m loading the default module

protected function _initAutoload()
{   
    //Zend_Loader_Autoloader_Resource  - Zend_Application_Module_Autoloader
    $moduleLoader = new Zend_Application_Module_Autoloader(array(
        'namespace' => '', 
        'basePath' => APPLICATION_PATH
    ));
    return $moduleLoader;
}

I even tried using this pattern , as recommended by Autloading modular forms & models in Zend Framework 1.8

protected function _initAutoload()
{   
    //Zend_Loader_Autoloader_Resource  - Zend_Application_Module_Autoloader
    $moduleLoader = new Zend_Application_Module_Autoloader(array(
        'namespace' => '', 
        'basePath' => APPLICATION_PATH,
        'resourceTypes' => array (
            'form' => array(
            'path' => 'forms',
            'namespace' => 'Form'))
    );
    return $moduleLoader;
}

but no joy. any ideas?

Make sure the case matches exactly.
The folder has to be named Forms unless you specified different directory for Form classes and make sure SectorSearch is not sEcTorSEarcH.php or something
