Variables
static Zend_Controller_Front $_instance = null (line 78)

Singleton instance

Marked only as protected to allow extension of the class. To extend, simply override getInstance().

  • access: protected
string $_baseUrl = null (line 55)

Base URL

  • access: protected
string|array $_controllerDir = null (line 62)

Directory|ies where controllers are stored

  • access: protected
Zend_Controller_Dispatcher_Interface $_dispatcher = null (line 68)

Instance of Zend_Controller_Dispatcher_Interface

  • access: protected
array $_invokeParams = array() (line 85)

Array of invocation parameters to use when instantiating action

controllers

  • access: protected
Zend_Controller_Plugin_Broker $_plugins = null (line 91)

Instance of Zend_Controller_Plugin_Broker

  • access: protected
Zend_Controller_Request_Abstract $_request = null (line 97)

Instance of Zend_Controller_Request_Abstract

  • access: protected
Zend_Controller_Response_Abstract $_response = null (line 103)

Instance of Zend_Controller_Response_Abstract

  • access: protected
boolean $_returnResponse = false (line 110)

Whether or not to return the response prior to rendering output while in dispatch(); default is to send headers and render output.

  • access: protected
Zend_Controller_Router_Interface $_router = null (line 116)

Instance of Zend_Controller_Router_Interface

  • access: protected
boolean $_throwExceptions = false (line 123)

Whether or not exceptions encountered in dispatch() should be

thrown or trapped in the response object

  • access: protected
Methods
static getInstance (line 145)

Singleton instance

  • access: public
static Zend_Controller_Front getInstance ()
static run (line 198)

Convenience feature, calls setControllerDirectory()->setRouter()->dispatch()

In PHP 5.1.x, a call to a static method never populates $this -- so run() may actually be called after setting up your front controller.

  • throws: Zend_Controller_Exception if called from an object instance
  • access: public
static void run (string|array $controllerDirectory)
  • string|array $controllerDirectory: Path to Zend_Controller_Action controller classes or array of such paths
addControllerDirectory (line 216)

Add a controller directory to the controller directory stack

If $args is presented and is a string, uses it for the array key mapping to the directory specified.

  • throws: Zend_Controller_Exception if directory not found or readable
  • access: public
Zend_Controller_Front addControllerDirectory (string $directory, [string $module = 'default'])
  • string $directory
  • string $module: Optional argument; module with which to associate directory. If none provided, assumes 'defualt'
clearParams (line 562)

Clear the controller parameter stack

By default, clears all parameters. If a parameter name is given, clears only that parameter; if an array of parameter names is provided, clears each.

  • access: public
Zend_Controller_Front clearParams ([null|string|array $name = null])
  • null|string|array $name: single key or array of keys for params to clear
dispatch (line 654)

Dispatch an HTTP request to a controller/action.

  • return: Returns response object if returnResponse() is true
  • access: public
getBaseUrl (line 428)

Retrieve the currently set base URL

  • access: public
string getBaseUrl ()
getControllerDirectory (line 260)

Retrieve controller directory

Retrieves stored controller directory

  • access: public
array getControllerDirectory ()
getDefaultAction (line 306)

Retrieve the default action (unformatted string)

  • access: public
string getDefaultAction ()
getDefaultControllerName (line 283)

Retrieve the default controller (unformatted string)

  • access: public
string getDefaultControllerName ()
getDispatcher (line 452)

Return the dispatcher object.

  • access: public
getParam (line 533)

Retrieve a single parameter from the controller parameter stack

  • access: public
mixed getParam (string $name)
  • string $name
getParams (line 547)

Retrieve action controller instantiation parameters

  • access: public
array getParams ()
getRequest (line 342)

Return the request object.

  • access: public
getResponse (line 496)

Return the response object.

  • access: public
null|Zend_Controller_Response_Abstract getResponse ()
getRouter (line 382)

Return the router object.

Instantiates a Zend_Controller_Router_Rewrite object if no router currently set.

  • access: public
registerPlugin (line 585)

Register a plugin.

  • access: public
resetInstance (line 161)

Resets all object properties of the singleton instance

Primarily used for testing; could be used to chain front controllers.

  • access: public
void resetInstance ()
returnResponse (line 634)

Set whether dispatch() should return the response without first rendering output. By default, output is rendered and dispatch() returns nothing.

  • return: Used as a setter, returns object; as a getter, returns boolean
  • access: public
boolean|Zend_Controller_Front returnResponse ([boolean $flag = null])
  • boolean $flag
setBaseUrl (line 412)

Set the base URL used for requests

Use to set the base URL segment of the REQUEST_URI to use when determining PATH_INFO, etc. Examples:

  • /admin
  • /myapp
  • /subdir/index.php
Note that the URL should not include the full URI. Do not use:
  • http://example.com/admin
  • http://example.com/myapp
  • http://example.com/subdir/index.php
If a null value is passed, this can be used as well for autodiscovery (default).

  • throws: Zend_Controller_Exception for non-string $base
  • access: public
Zend_Controller_Front setBaseUrl ([string $base = null])
  • string $base
setControllerDirectory (line 242)

Set controller directory

Stores controller directory to pass to dispatcher. May be an array of directories or a string containing a single directory.

Zend_Controller_Front setDefaultAction (string $action)
  • string $action
setDefaultControllerName (line 271)

Set the default controller (unformatted string)

  • access: public
Zend_Controller_Front setDefaultControllerName (string $controller)
  • string $controller
setDispatcher (line 441)

Set the dispatcher object. The dispatcher is responsible for taking a Zend_Controller_Dispatcher_Token object, instantiating the controller, and call the action method of the controller.

  • access: public
setParam (line 508)

Add or modify a parameter to use when instantiating an action controller

  • access: public
Zend_Controller_Front setParam (string $name, mixed $value)
  • string $name
  • mixed $value
setParams (line 521)

Set parameters to pass to action controller constructors

  • access: public
Zend_Controller_Front setParams ( $params)
  • array $params
setRequest (line 322)

Set request class/object

Set the request object. The request holds the request environment.

If a class name is provided, it will instantiate it

  • throws: Zend_Controller_Exception if invalid request class
  • access: public
setResponse (line 476)

Set response class/object

Set the response object. The response is a container for action responses and headers. Usage is optional.

If a class name is provided, instantiates a response object.

  • throws: Zend_Controller_Exception if invalid response class
  • access: public
setRouter (line 360)

Set router class/object

Set the router object. The router is responsible for mapping the request to a controller and action.

If a class name is provided, instantiates router with any parameters registered via setParam() or setParams().

  • throws: Zend_Controller_Exception if invalid router class
  • access: public
throwExceptions (line 613)

Set whether exceptions encounted in the dispatch loop should be thrown or caught and trapped in the response object

Default behaviour is to trap them in the response object; call this method to have them thrown.

  • return: Used as a setter, returns object; as a getter, returns boolean
  • access: public
boolean|Zend_Controller_Front throwExceptions ([boolean $flag = null])
  • boolean $flag: Defaults to true
