Zend Front Contoller

dannyyounes · #1 (**permalink**) 06-19-2008, 12:39 PM

Hi All

I am new to the Zend framework and I am writing a simple helloworld script and I am getting the following error which I can't work out

Fatal error: Cannot access protected property Zend_Controller_Front::$_instance in /usr/share/php/Zend/library/Zend/Controller/Front.php on line 165

What does this mean?

Code snippet of index controller

PHP Code:


			
<?php



    Zend_loader::loadClass('Zend_Controller_Action');

    class IndexController extends Zend_Controller_Action {

        public function indexAction() {

            echo "<center><h1>Hello World</h1></center>";

        }

    }

?>

Thanks in advance

Danny

Show us your bootstrap, I dont think that error is coming from that controller.

Hi here is my bootstrap file, sorry for the delay

PHP Code:


			
<?php

    ini_set ("display_errors", 1);

    error_reporting(E_ALL);

    $lib_paths = array();

    $lib_paths[] = "/var/www/rewardcentre/application";

    $lib_paths[] = "/usr/share/php/Zend/library/";

    $inc_path = implode(PATH_SEPARATOR, $lib_paths);

    set_include_path($inc_path);



    require_once 'Zend/Loader.php';

    require_once 'Zend/Controller/Front.php';



    try {

        Zend_Loader::loadClass('Zend_Controller_Front');

        $frontController = Zend_Controller_Front::getInstance();

        $frontController->throwExceptions(true);

        $frontController->setParam('noViewRendered', true);

        $frontController->setParam('noErrorHandler', true);

        $frontController->setControllerDirectory('/var/www/rewardcentre/application/controllers/');

        $frontController->dispatch();

    }

    catch (Exception $exp) {

        $contentType = 'text/html';

        header("Content-Type: $contentType; charset=utf-8");

        echo 'an unexpected error occured';

        echo '<h2>Unexpected Exception: ' . $exp->getMessage() . '</h2><br /><pre>';

        echo $exp->getTraceAsString();;

    }

?>

This seems to be an old post but I thought I will respond since it may be useful to someone else.

I don't know why your error is occurring.. However I found a typo:
It seems like you are following the example given in PHP Architect's Guide to Programming with Zend. Unfortunately that book have a gazillion typos. For no view rendering (that is the case since you did not create the index.phtml) you have to set param:
$frontController->setParam('noViewRenderer', true);

The following is wrong - the Front Controller is trying to render the non-existant view.
$frontController->setParam('noViewRendered', true);

Fixing this may not help you but you can try.
Hope this helps.
