Use an action helper for this. For example:
class My_Helper_Db extends Zend_Controller_Action_Helper_Abstract
{
public $db;
public function direct()
{
if (null === $this->db) {
$this->db = Zend_Registry::get('db');
try {
$this->db->getConnection();
} catch (Zend_Db_Adapter_Exception $e) {
// ...
} catch (Zend_Exception $e) {
// ...
}
}
$this->getActionController()->db = $this->db;
}
}
Add the helper to the helper broker, either by path or prefix:
// in your bootstrap:
Zend_Controller_Action_HelperBroker::addPrefix('My_Helper');
Then, in your action controller, when you need to make sure the DB is
present:
$this->_helper->db(); // init DB connection
$this->db->....; // do something with the db...
That's it.
