I created a Config Resource and a separate config.ini file for site
configuration params not related to Zend_Application :
<?php
class Resource_Config extends Zend_Application_Resource_ResourceAbstract {
protected $_config = null;
protected $_configFile = '';
public function init() {
$this->_configFile = APPLICATION_PATH . '/configs/config.ini';
return $this->getConfig();
}
public function getConfig() {
if ($this->_config === null) {
$this->_config = new Zend_Config_Ini($this->_configFile,
APPLICATION_ENV);
}
return $this->_config;
}
}
What do you guys think of this approach?
Thanks!
