Variables
static Zend_Controller_Front $_instance = null (line 87)

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

string $_baseUrl = null (line 64)

  • access: protected
string|array $_controllerDir = null (line 71)

Directory|ies where controllers are stored

Methods
static getInstance (line 164)

Singleton instance

  • access: public
static Zend_Controller_Front getInstance ()
static run (line 225)

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 243)

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

Iterates through the directory, adding any subdirectories as modules; the subdirectory within each module named after $_moduleControllerDirectoryName will be used as the controller directory path.

setRouter (line 474)

Set router class/object
