classes within modules

hi all

i'm sure theres an easy answer to this but i'm stumped!

I've setup my site to use modules as set out on the ZF documentation:

Code:

docroot/
    index.php
application/
    default/
        controllers/
            IndexController.php
            FooController.php
        models/
        views/
            scripts/
                index/
                foo/
            helpers/
            filters/
    blog/
        controllers/
            IndexController.php
        models/
        views/
            scripts/
                index/
            helpers/
            filters/

The issue I have is that I can't seem to reference any files in the respective model directories under each module. I;ve used $front->addControllerDirectory() to set the locations fine and know you need to precede action controllers with module names. I also have Zend_Loader set to autoload.

For example, under the models dir in blog module i have a class called myClass.php,I then try to call this

Code:

public function blog_IndexAction(){
 $myclass = new myClass()
}

and it fails as it can't find class 'myClass'. I've tried

Code:

public function blog_IndexAction(){
 $myclass = new blog_myClass()
}

and that doesn't work either. Am I missing something here? Do I have to manually set the model directories for each module before zend_loader recognises them?

If you name your class blog_models_myclass it should work just fine.
The zend loader assumes that classes have their path in their name.
/ or \ would be replaced by _ tho.

If that doesn't help, make sure that "application/" is in your php include path.

Have you required your model classes?
