Ladies and gents, What is the ZF way to get a Zend_Mail instance all set up and ready to go on demand? The examples in the docs are hard-coded. It seems like a good candidate for a config file, like this, or similar:
http://mysqltalk.wordpress.com/2009/05/16/how-to-pull-your-mail-configuration-from-application-ini-for-zend-framework-1-8-0/ But there's the disadvantage, I think, that in your config you will end up mixing resource.* style config directives with others, potentially confusing people later to install and set up your application. Although -- who cares? Maybe I am being a bit anal-retentive about that. There is also this, which is elegant http://www.codewithstyle.eu/2009/11/18/configurare-zend_mail-usando-application-ini/ but I think there's the disadvantage that your Zend_Mail resource would get instantiated at bootstrap time whether you need it or not -- true? -- and not every controller/action in my app needs to send email. Finally, I suppose you could set the email configuration data in its own separate config file. Any thoughts? -- Support real health care reform: http://phimg.org/ -- David Mintz http://davidmintz.org/
