Call function in indexController from another controller Zend

Question

Need to call some function from another controller (not IndexController), for example:

class IndexController extends Zend_Controller_Action
{

public function indexAction()
{
    $someFunction = new CustomController();
    $someFunction->someFunc();
}

} But this throws an error :

Fatal error: Class 'CustomController' not found in C:\xampp\htdocs\demo.ru\application\controllers\IndexController.php on line 13

Answer 1

If YourController::memberFunction() does something that is needed across multiple controllers, put that code in a action helper or library class ,

so that both controllers can access the shared functionality without having to depend on each other.

I would suggest you to follow DRY and move those functions to common library place.

to use with Namespace see

hope this will sure help you.
