Woops! No, you're absolutely right, you need to use $config->database->params->toArray(). I always make that mistake in my own code too. I'll just have to modify Zend_Db to accept a Zend_Config object and automatically do the right thing. :-) Regards, Bill Karwin

How can I read the type attribute of database? $config = new Zend_Config_Xml('./application/config.xml', 'production', FALSE); echo($config->database->sec->value); // returns NULL echo($config->database->sec); // returns NULL Both return NULL!
