Create new page in zend framework
Here are the steps to create a new page in Zend Framework:
Step 1: Create a new action
In your controller, create a new action by adding a new method to the controller class. For example, let's say you want to create a new page called "hello". You would add a new method called helloAction()
to your controller class.
Step 2: Define the action
In the helloAction()
method, define what you want to do when the action is called. For example, you might want to render a new view script.
Here's an example:
public function helloAction()
{
$this->_helper->layout()->setLayout('layout');
$this->_helper->viewRenderer->setViewFileName('hello.phtml');
}
In this example, we're setting the layout to a custom layout called layout
, and setting the view file to a new view script called hello.phtml
.
Step 3: Create the view script
Create a new file called hello.phtml
in the views/scripts
directory of your application. This file will contain the HTML code for your new page.
Here's an example:
<h1>Hello World!</h1>
<p>This is a new page.</p>
Step 4: Add a route
To access your new page, you need to add a route to your application. You can do this by adding a new route to the routes
section of your application.ini
file.
Here's an example:
routes.hello.type = "Zend_Controller_Router_Route"
routes.hello.route = "/hello"
routes.hello.defaults.module = "default"
routes.hello.defaults.controller = "index"
routes.hello.defaults.action = "hello"
In this example, we're creating a new route called hello
that maps to the helloAction()
method in the IndexController
class.
Step 5: Test the page
Finally, test your new page by accessing it in your browser. For example, if your route is set up correctly, you should be able to access the page by visiting http://example.com/hello
in your browser.
That's it! You've created a new page in Zend Framework.
