I am using specific parts of the Zend Framework in my application, and I would like to replace my home grown controller with a Zend Framework controller.
My home grown controller is based on an index.php file to which all requests are submitted. A controller is instantiated based on parameters sent within the request
After processing the user is forwarded to url which is based on the request information, either a url is specified or some data is analysed
I would like ideas on how to integrate the Zend Controller within my application
Thanks in advance
Update: I am willing to import the rest of the dependencies, infact I already have Config, Exception, Registry, URI and View. However, I do not want to change my layout to the Zend Application layout. It seems that I may need to use the FrontController but I cannot seem to find any examples
By default, if you generate a default Zend Framework project, it won't have any layout. If it does, just comment or remove resources.layout.* in your config.ini or in the Bootstrap.php
Zend_Layout is part of the Composite View Pattern which basically means it acts as a wrapper for the other views.
You should be fine by running a default Zend Framework application and remove the layout to only use the view.
Note, that you can still use a layout with only <?= $this->layout()->content; ?>
