Where does authentication and loader go in Zend Framework?

Question

Hi guys, Still trying to learn the basics of MVC.

I'm making use of Zend_Loader for Google Calendar feed. What file would this information go in? The .phtml view?

// load library

    Zend_Loader::loadClass('Zend_Gdata');
    Zend_Loader::loadClass('Zend_Gdata_ClientLogin');
    Zend_Loader::loadClass('Zend_Gdata_Calendar');
    Zend_Loader::loadClass('Zend_Http_Client');

    // create authenticated HTTP client for Calendar service
    $gcal = Zend_Gdata_Calendar::AUTH_SERVICE_NAME;
    $user = "xxxxxxxxxxxx";
    $pass = "xxxxxxxxxxxx";
    $client = Zend_Gdata_ClientLogin::getHttpClient($user, $pass, $gcal);
    $gcal = new Zend_Gdata_Calendar($client);

    $query = $gcal->newEventQuery();

    $query->setUser('xxxxxxxxxxxx');
  $secondary=true;
    $query->setVisibility('private');
    $query->setProjection('basic');
    $query->setOrderby('starttime');
    $query->setSortOrder('ascending');
    //$query->setFutureevents('true');

    $startDate=date('Y-m-d h:i:s');
    $endDate="2015-12-31";
    $query->setStartMin($startDate);
    $query->setStartMax($endDate);
    $query->setMaxResults(30);
    try {
      $feed = $gcal->getCalendarEventFeed($query);
    } catch (Zend_Gdata_App_Exception $e) {
      echo "Error: " . $e->getResponse();
    }

Thanks!

Answer 1

This would go in a Zend Controller and the rendering would go in the view script.

Answer 2

I'd create separate calendar service for all calendar tasks, configuration etc. then used it in the Controllers, and passed data to the View.
