Where do I create my layout in the Zend Framework?

Question

In ASP.Net you'd create a MasterPage and have whatever pages use that.

I need my pages to use the same basic layout. Where do I create it?

Answer 1

Have you read the Zend Framework Quickstart section on layouts?

Answer 2

I would recommend that you read some tutorial about Zend Framework ; for instance, you might want to go through the 10 existing chapters of the ebook Zend Framework: Surviving The Deep End.

About your specific question, you'll especially be interested by Chapter 10. Setting The Design With Zend_View, Zend_Layout, HTML 5 and Yahoo! User Interface Library, and, more specifically, the 10.2.1. Layouts section.
