Createing my own functions files

Hello All,
I was wondering about how I would use my own functions in the zend framework environment, for example a function that generates random strings etc..

Thanks

Never mind I figured it out, just create a classes folder and add it to your pass, and create a class for exemple UserRegistrationTools, then instantiate it wherever you need it in any controllers.

Thanks

You might want to create the folder as a new library and put the function there. You might also want it to be an Action Helper or a View Helper.

If you only need a function for one specific page, you can define it as a member function within that page's class. for example:

PHP Code:


			
class indexController() {
        function indexAction() {
                //code here

                $this->myOwnFunction();
        }

        function myOwnFunction() {
                //your code here
        }
}
