how to access the configuration data from within a controller action?

Question

I have place this on my application.ini file:

contact.email.address = "[email protected]"
contact.email.name = "Test Name"

Then on my index controller action I have done:

$configOptions = $this->getInvokeArg('bootstrap')->getOptions();
$contactAddress = $configOptions->contact.email.address;
$this->view->contact = $contactAddress;

On my view I have:

var_dump($this->contact); but I'm receiving NULL.

What am I missing ?

In your controller, I think you want:

$configOptions = $this->getInvokeArg('bootstrap')->getOptions();
$contactAddress = $configOptions['contact']['email']['address'];
$this->view->contact = $contactAddress;

Or: $configOptions = new Zend_Config($this->getInvokeArg('bootstrap')->getOptions()); and then: $configOptions->contact->email->address; - my bad syntax errors... :((

Right, I usually create this Zend_Config instance during Bootstrap and save it someplace so that I can access it later using the cleaner syntax you identify here.

Yeah, I usually save the Zend_Config instance using the Zend_Registry

You can use:

$configOptions = new Zend_Config($this->getInvokeArg('bootstrap')->getOptions());
$contactAddress = $configOptions->contact.email.address;
$this->view->contact = $contactAddress;
