[fw-general] Weird Issue (Slightly OT)

[Lee Saferite]

Hi all,

   I just ran into a strange problem and since the project uses ZF and you guys are the only PHP community I am part of, I thought I'd present it to you all.

We currently run with Zend Platform on our testing and live servers without any problems.  We also have a series of laptops running linux as mobile demo servers for our technology.  We do not run Zend Platform on the laptops.  We have recently developed a new application using ZF as a base and it works great.  However, when we checked it out onto our demo laptops, it just refused to work.  I traced the problem back to this:

$view = new Zend_View();
$view->layout = array();
$view->layout['header'] = 'common/header_small.tpl';

This bit of code works perfect *IF* I run it with the Zend Platform.
When running it without Zend Platform, assigning the array key 'header' just fails silently, no warnings, nothing.  It just doesn't happen.

Any ideas?  I'm stumped.

P.S.  Sorry if this is too OT for the list.  If so, please tell me a good place to go.
