Load Zend Framework and its application in a PHP script - php

Question

I need to lo the Zend Framework and its MVC application in a PHP script so I could do some models to query the database. The framework and some libs are loaded this way (the script was created by someone else):
/** Initialise Zend */
define( 'BRIDGE_BASE_DIR', dirname( __FILE__ ) );
set_include_path( get_include_path().PATH_SEPARATOR.BRIDGE_BASE_DIR.'/../library' );
require_once('Zend/Loader/Autoloader.php');
require_once 'Zend/Config/Ini.php';
$autoloader = Zend_Loader_Autoloader::getInstance();
$autoloader->registerNamespace('XYz');
$autoloader->registerNamespace('Yxz');
I would like to call a model this way: Franchisee_Model_Franchisee::find($franchiseeId)
which is located under: application/modules/franchisee/models/franchisee
I tried many ways but I cannot load the full stack. Is there a simple way to load ZF in a script, including everything under application and application/modules?
UPDATE
I tried this too:
<?php
error_reporting( E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE );
/** Initialise Zend */
define( 'BRIDGE_BASE_DIR', dirname( __FILE__ ) );
set_include_path( get_include_path().PATH_SEPARATOR.BRIDGE_BASE_DIR.'/../library' );
require_once('Zend/Loader/Autoloader.php');
require_once 'Zend/Config/Ini.php';
$autoloader = Zend_Loader_Autoloader::getInstance();
$autoloader->registerNamespace('Xyz');
$autoloader->registerNamespace('Yzx');
/** Handle arguments */
if ($argc < 2) {
echo 'LOG: ' . Zend_Date::now()->toString('YYYY-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss') . ' Please set the environment.'.PHP_EOL;
exit(1);
}
define("APPLICATION_ENV", $argv[1]);
// echo 'LOG: ' . Zend_Date::now()->toString('YYYY-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss');
// echo " Current environment is: ".APPLICATION_ENV.PHP_EOL;
/** Zend_Application */
define(APPLICATION_PATH, dirname( __FILE__ ).'/../application');
require_once 'Zend/Application.php';
// Create application, bootstrap, and run
$application = new Zend_Application(
APPLICATION_ENV,
APPLICATION_PATH . '/configs/application.ini'
);
$application->bootstrap();
echo "Running ZF version: " . Zend_Version::VERSION;
new Admin_Contract_Table();
but I get
Fatal error: Class 'Admin_Contract_Table' not found in /Users/myuser/dev/htdocs/Admin/current/vend_bridge/zend.php on line 42

Answer 1

You need to bootstrap (but not run) the application as well. After what you have, add:
$application = new Zend_Application(
APPLICATION_ENV,
APPLICATION_PATH . '/configs/application.ini'
);
$application->bootstrap();
you may need to set APPLICATION_ENV and APPLICATION_PATH as well if you've not already.

You haven't registered your Admin namespace in the autoloader..
$autoloader->registerNamespace('Admin');
