Design patterns a design pattern is a general reusable solution to a commonly occurring problem in software design. (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Design_pattern_(computer_science))

MVC design patterns Model-View-Controller (MVC) is a design pattern that simplifies application development and maintenance. • Model: Responsible for the business logic of an application • View: Typically what would be considered web design, or templating. • Controller: The controller layer glues everything together.

Directory structure

Bootstrap (index.php)

Hello world with ZF MVC We have done basic configuration. It time to have fun…. In your application/controllers/IndexController.php <? class IndexController extends Zend_Ctontroller_Action { public function indexAction() { } } ?>

Hello world cont… Next in your application/views/ Create views/index/index.phtml And write <html> <body> Hello world………….. </body> </html>

Using Models In application/models Write <? class Math { public function __construct() { } public function sum($val1,$val2) { return $val1 + $val2; } } ?>

Model cont.. Now in controller, write <? class IndexController extends Zend_Ctontroller Action { public function indexAction() { $math = new Math(); $sum = $math->sum(5,10); $this->view->sum=$sum; } } ?>

Example cont… And finally in your view(application/view/scripts/index/index.phtml) Write, <? echo ‘sum is ’ . $this->sum; ?>

Thanks Next….. Two step view Zend_Db_Configuration And many more….. Faheem Abbas Software engineer
