To use registry, we call registry.php from Zend Framework:

require_once 'Zend/Registry.php';

Ok, we practice using registry. We still use our previous practice. Please read that tutorial before. Then, follow this steps:

1. Open "index.php" within "web_root". Enter line 11 - 13:

   
   <?php
   error_reporting(E_ALL|E_STRICT);
   ini_set('display_errors', true);
   date_default_timezone_set('Europe/London');
   
   $rootDir = dirname(dirname(__FILE__));
   set_include_path($rootDir . '/library' . PATH_SEPARATOR . get_include_path());
   
   
   require_once 'Zend/Controller/Front.php';
   require_once 'Zend/Registry.php';
   
   Zend_Registry::set('title',"My First Application");
   
   
   Zend_Controller_Front::run('../application/controllers');
   
   ?>
   

   We set a parameter named "title". We put a value for this parameter.

2. Next, we try to call/read this registry. Open your UserController.php within application/controllers.
3. Update indexAction like this:

   
   public function indexAction()
   {
       $title = Zend_Registry::get('title');
       $this->view->assign('name', 'Wiwit');
       $this->view->assign('title', $title);
   }
   

Test, by pointing your browser to : http://localhost/test/zend/helloworld/web_root/user/.

You may remember a function at PHP that have function like this, define(). Yup, it is like register global parameter.
