Extending the IndexController with a BaseController in Zend

Question

I\'m trying to extend my controllers with a global base controller as such:

class BaseController extends Zend_Controller_Action {
 // common controller actions
          


        

Answer 1

Even more quicker solution (and conceptually more correct) is NOT to create base controllers at all:)

You have common action? Use action helpers. You have some functionality that must be autorun? Use controller plugins.

By design ZF controllers were made as flexible as possible, and limiting yourself by inheritance (and coupling it brings) is just not the best possible strategy.
