Hello, I am using Zend Framework to create my website. I have a typical directory setup (without modules). Here is an example of a url (user books is just something i came up with for this example): http://mysite.com/user/books?userId=1
This goes to the UserController::booksAction function. The page that gets returned is the user's information along with all the books they have entered. Now I plan to have a REST webservice with somewhat the same information. My url I would like is: http://api.mysite.com/user/books?userId=1 I would like something similar for mobile: http://mobile.mysite.com/user/books?userId=1 How would you recommend I setup the directory structure and controller/actions to accomplish this? Obviously, with the current setup I have, all above urls will go to UserController::booksAction, but I probably want 3 different ones, since each will be returning different data (at the very least different formats, but probably slightly different data too). I obviously want all three sites to use the same models I have written for a User and for a Book. Here are some options I came up with, but I am wondering if there is something better: 1) I was thinking I could have three different bootstrap files, one for each site. And then place all my models (which currently live in .../application/default/models) to some general location that for all three sites to use. 2) I could change my urls to now use modules instead, so they would look like: http://mysite.com/default/user/books?userId=1 http://mysite.com/api/user/books?userId=1 http://mysite.com/mobile/user/books?userId=1 Then create the directory structure as: .../application/default/controllers .../application/api/controllers .../application/mobile/controllers and place my models somewhere for all to see: .../models/User.php 3) Inside the UserController::booksAction function determine which site I am on (website, api, or mobile) and then send to the appropriate page to view. 4) other? how are other people doing this?
