Zend Framework: How to access your configuration from the application.ini file

There are many ways of getting the config from our application.ini file. The usual way is to load it using Zend_Config in our Boostrap class. The other way is to load it from a parameter in the front controller (Zend_Application put it there).

Using Bootstrap
Add this to your Boostra.php file:

	<?php
	class Bootstrap extends Zend_Application_Bootstrap_Bootstrap {
	//...
	protected function _initConfig(){
	$config_options = new Zend_Config($this->getOptions());
	Zend_Registry::set('config', $config_options);
	return $config_options;
	}
	}

You can fetch the config wherever you want using: 

$config = Zend_Registry::get("config");

Loading from Front controller
From a View action:

	<?php
	class MyController extends Zend_Controller_Action {
	//...
	public function myAction(){
	$bootstrap = $this->getInvokeArg('bootstrap');
	$config_options = $bootstrap->getOptions();
	}
	}

From outside the controller:

	<?php
	$bootstrap = Zend_Controller_Front::getInstance()->getParam('bootstrap');
	$config_options = $bootstrap->getOptions();
