How to know what config string I can use in application.ini in zend_application?

Question

such as:

[production]
resources.frontController.moduleDirectory = APPLICATION_PATH

How to know "resources.frontController.moduleDirectory" is a valid config item

Answer 1

All keys that start with resources.someResourceName will be passed to the corresponding resource. Each individual resource is responsible for dealing with those options.

The Zend Framework manual includes a page that lists configuration keys for the built-in resources. While that page should probably cover most things, it's not necessarily exhaustive.

If the manual doesn't list the keys for the resource you're looking for, it's often a good assumption that the same options you can programmatically pass to a Zend Framework component are also keys for its associated resource. As a last resort, looking in the resource's code (which will be in the Zend/Application/Resource folder for built-in resources) should at least give you an idea what keys are valid.

Of course, you can also write your own resource plugins , and you'd be in control of what configuration keys they accept.
