I am getting the following error :
Fatal error: Class 'Application_Form_Employee' not found in /var/www/Employee/application/controllers/EmployeeController.php on line 31
I have created a separate folder for the forms in applications and placed the form Employee.php in the folder of Employee which is inside Forms . The routing in the application.ini is shown below : resources.router.routes.employee.route = /employee
resources.router.routes.employee.defaults.module = default
resources.router.routes.employee.defaults.controller = Employee
resources.router.routes.employee.defaults.action = new
resources.router.routes.employee.route = /employee
resources.router.routes.employee.defaults.module = default
resources.router.routes.employee.defaults.controller = Employee
resources.router.routes.employee.defaults.action = edit
resources.router.routes.employee.route = /employee
resources.router.routes.employee.defaults.module = default
resources.router.routes.employee.defaults.controller = Employee
resources.router.routes.employee.defaults.action = index
Please specify if any additional information required ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// P.S : I have tried to solve this error in a thousand ways by changing the folders and routing.
To enable forms simply and to correctly configure the resource, use the Zend_Tool cli.
At your command line or if your ide is compable (Netbeans is) enter the command:
zf enable form
this will create the correct directory for application level and Application namespaced forms.
When using application level forms the class name will be prefixed with Application_Form_ and the file will exist at
/application
/forms
/Myform.php
If you need forms in a module simply alter the command to reflect the module name:
zf enable form -m admin
almost all commands in Zend_Tool cli can use the -m switch to specify a module name.
ZF1 has a number of predefine resources that have their own namespaces the class Zend_Application_Module_Autoloader has a complete list of the default namespaces along with the default path for each.
This answer assumes your application setup is reasonably close to a default ZF1 configuration.
P.S. I noticed that all of your routes have the same name 'employee'. If you want each of these routes to actually work, they need different names. The individual urls should work but the 'named' routes won't. Only the last route in the stack will work.
for example:
//4 lines equals one route
resources.router.routes.employee.route = /employee
resources.router.routes.employee.defaults.module = default
resources.router.routes.employee.defaults.controller = Employee
resources.router.routes.employee.defaults.action = index
//this route might work better as
resources.router.routes.editEmployee.route = /employee/edit
resources.router.routes.editEmployee.defaults.module = default
resources.router.routes.editEmployee.defaults.controller = Employee
resources.router.routes.editEmployee.defaults.action = edit
each 'named' route should have a unique name and a unique url.
