Is there better way to access configs from Conroller plugin in Zend Framework

Question

Just need get some vals located in application.ini(main ini) in the Controller plugin I know I can create an instance of Zend_config_Ini but would like to use the existing resource (application.ini is already used in Front Controller)

Answer 1

Use Zend Registry

// when loading the config
Zend_Registry::set('config', $config);
// later, somewhere
$config = Zend_Registry::get('config');

Answer 2

If you now that you will need your configuration values from application.ini in few places around your whole application, you could read it up in bootstrap and store it in registry:

$appConfig = new Zend_Config_Ini('path/to/application.ini');
Zend_Registry::set('applicationConfig', $appConfig);

then later you can always access it:

Zend_Registry::get('applicationConfig')->someValue;
