Accessing Bootstrap Resources from Anywhere

Aleksey V. Zapparov posts a very nice solution to a very common question when dealing with Bootstrap resources;

Hello,
You can either register precious resources in registry, e.g.:


protected function _initMyResource()
{
$res = 'foobar';
Zend_Registry::set('myResource', $res);
return $res;
}


Or you can register the whole bootstrap, so you can place in it’s constructor, something like this:


public function __construct($application) {
parent::contstruct($application);
Zend_Registry::set('Bootstrap', $this);
}

So later you’ll be able to access resources via:

$res = Zend_Registry::get('myResource');

or:

$res = Zend_Registry::get('Bootstrap')->getResource('MyResource');

And there is another way to get your bootstrapper from almost
everywhere:

$bootstrap = Zend_Controller_Front::getInstance()->getParam('bootstrap');
$resource = $bootstrap->getResource('MyResource');


Sincerely yours,
