Bootstrapping the Application: the Standard Database Resource Plugin
Wednesday, September 23, 2009
The configuration of the standard database resource plugin Zend_Application_Resource_Db can be done easily via the configuration file. The following code (with sensitive settings hidden) shows how to set up the database adapter:
resources.db.adapter = "mysqli" resources.db.params.host = "localhost" resources.db.params.username = "username" resources.db.params.password = "password" resources.db.params.dbname = "database" resources.db.isDefaultTableAdapter = true
Note that the last line sets the adapter to be the default one used by Zend_Db_Table.
