Topic: how to use different library in ZF ?

[sasori]

I added a new folder inside the library folder and named it as "Form" ( so now I have two folders, the Form & Zend )
inside the "Form" folder, I added a file named "Elements.php"
inside the "Elements.php" I have named the class as
class Elements{}
now the question is, How will I use that Elements class to another class without having to use the require() function just like the Zend libraries ?

You just need to register your namespace with the autoloader.


require_once 'Zend/Loader/Autoloader.php';
Zend_Loader_Autoloader::getInstance()->registerNamespace('Form_');

nothing happened, there's still an error that the class cannot be found.. am I doing the right thing?
1) the file name is Elements.php
2) the class name is Elements.php
3) folder name is "Form"
4) registerednamespace("Form_")
5) called the file to another class as,  new Form_Elements();

is the correct or ?

2) the class name is Elements.php

That isn't even valid php. The class would need to be named 'Form_Elements'.

sorry, i mistyped .php, on my reply


how about when using it to another class ?
is it "$var = new Form_Elements()" or "$var = new Form_Element" ?
