When upgrading from a previous release to Zend Framework 0.8 or higher you should note the following migration notes.
Per previous changes, the most basic usage of the MVC components remains the same:
Zend_Controller_Front::run('/path/to/controllers');
However, the directory structure underwent an overhaul, several components were removed, and several others either renamed or added. Changes include:
-
Zend_Controller_Routerwas removed in favor of the rewrite router. -
Zend_Controller_RewriteRouterwas renamed toZend_Controller_Router_Rewrite, and promoted to the standard router shipped with the framework;Zend_Controller_Frontwill use it by default if no other router is supplied. -
A new route class for use with the rewrite router was introduced,
Zend_Controller_Router_Route_Module; it covers the default route used by the MVC, and has support for controller modules. -
Zend_Controller_Router_StaticRoutewas renamed toZend_Controller_Router_Route_Static. -
Zend_Controller_Dispatcherwas renamedZend_Controller_Dispatcher_Standard. -
Zend_Controller_Action::_forward()'s arguments have changed. The signature is now:final protected function _forward($action, $controller = null, $module = null, array $params = null);$actionis always required; if no controller is specified, an action in the current controller is assumed.$moduleis always ignored unless$controlleris specified. Finally, any$paramsprovided will be appended to the request object. If you do not require the controller or module, but still need to pass parameters, simply specifyNULLfor those values.
