How can I access the configuration of a Zend Framework application from a controller?

Question

I have a Zend Framework application based on the quick-start setup.

I\'ve gotten the demos working and am now at the point of instantiating a new model class to do some

Answer 1

I've define a short hand in some place I require_once() in the beginning of boostrap:

function reg($name, $value=null) {
    (null===$value) || Zend_Registry::set($name, $value);
    return Zend_Registry::get($name);
}

and in the bootstrap I have a:

protected function _initFinal()
{
    reg('::app', $this->getApplication());
}

then I can get the Application instance anywhere by use:

$app = reg('::app');
