- Firstally define the directory structure of zend framework.
- Create index.php file inside the project/ directory and write the following code:
<?php
define('ROOT_DIR', dirname(__FILE__));
set_include_path('.'
. PATH_SEPARATOR . ROOT_DIR . '/library'
. PATH_SEPARATOR . ROOT_DIR . '/application/models'
. PATH_SEPARATOR . ROOT_DIR . '/application/forms'
. PATH_SEPARATOR . get_include_path()
);
require_once "Zend/Loader/Autoloader.php";
$autoloader = Zend_Loader_Autoloader::getInstance();
$autoloader->setFallbackAutoloader(true);
$config = new Zend_Config_Ini(ROOT_DIR.'/application/config.ini', 'general');
$db = Zend_Db::factory($config->db);
Zend_Db_Table::setDefaultAdapter($db);
$frontController = Zend_Controller_Front::getInstance();
$frontController->throwExceptions(true);
$frontController->setControllerDirectory(ROOT_DIR.'/application/controllers');
$frontController->dispatch();
?>
- Now create a form named CustomForm.php inside project/application/forms/ directory and write the following code to create a form for Data Entry:
<?php
class CustomForm extends Zend_Form
{
public function init()
{
$this->setMethod('post');
$id = $this->createElement('hidden','id');
$username = new Zend_Form_Element_Text('username');
$username->setLabel('Username:')
->setAttrib('maxlength',75);
$firstname = $this->createElement('text','firstname');
$firstname->setLabel('FirstName:')
->setAttrib('maxlength',75);
$lastname = $this->createElement('text','lastname');
$lastname->setLabel('LastName:')
->setAttrib('maxlength',75);
$email = $this->createElement('text','email');
$email->setLabel('Email:')
->setAttrib('maxlength',75);
$comment = new Zend_Form_Element_Textarea('comment');
$comment->setLabel('Comment:')
->setOptions(array(
'id' => 'comment',
'rows' => '5',
'cols' => '30',
));
$password = $this->createElement('password','password');
$password->setLabel('password:')
->setAttrib('maxlength',75);
$captcha = new Zend_Form_Element_Captcha('captcha', array(
'captcha' => array(
'captcha' => 'Figlet',
'wordLen' => 4,
'timeout' => 200,
)
));
$captcha->setLabel('Verification:');
$signin = $this->createElement('submit','signin');
$signin->setLabel("sign Up")
->setIgnore(true);
$reset = new Zend_Form_Element_Reset('reset');
$reset->setLabel('Cancel');
$this->addElements(array(
$username,
$firstname,
$lastname,
$email,
$password,
$captcha,
$signin,
$id,
$reset
));
}}
?>
- Create a Database and note down the name you created. Create table by executing the following query :
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `users` (
`id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`username` varchar(75) NOT NULL,
`firstname` varchar(75) NOT NULL,
`lastname` varchar(75) NOT NULL,
`email` varchar(15) NOT NULL,
`password` varchar(75) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`) ) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 AUTO_INCREMENT=10 ;
- Now configure the database settings. Create a file config.ini inside the /project/application/ directory, write the following code, fill in your details and save the file.
[general]
db.adapter = "PDO_MYSQL"
db.params.host = "localhost"
db.params.username = "root"
db.params.password = ""
db.params.dbname = "project"
- Create the IndexController.php inside project/application/controllers/ and write the following code in it:
<?php
class IndexController extends Zend_Controller_Action
{
public function addAction()
{
$users = new Users();
$form = new CustomForm();
$this->view->form = $form;
if ($this->getRequest()->isPost())
{
$formData = $this->_request->getPost();
if ($form->isValid($formData))
{
unset($formData['signin']);
$users->insert($formData);
echo "your data has been successfully stored";
}
} }} ?>
- We have to setup a model for the Database table which we are using, which is also used in indexAction() of IndexController.php file so, create a file Users.php which resides in /project/application/models/ directory and write the corresponding code.y
<?php class Users extends Zend_Db_Table { protected $_name = “users”; } ?>
