First thing to check, ensure your PHP executable (php cli) is both using the same ini values as well as the same extensions as the php apache sapi. That might be the reason why you have a mysql driver available in php for apache but not in the php for cli.
The other issues you are describing are use cases is one that is currently being discussed in the Zend_Application proposal. The idea in Zend_Application is that the bootstrap available to the web application is the same bootstrap available to your projects cli scripts. This means that you'll have access to your models, database connections, cache objects, so on and so forth. Also, you wont be using the Front Controller, which is unneeded in your cli scripts. http://framework.zend.com/wiki/display/ZFPROP/Zend_Application+-+Ben+Scholze n -ralph On 2/25/09 1:41 PM, "max_ent" <max_...@hotmail.com> wrote: > > Hi everyone > > I am trying to write command-line accessible scripts that have access to my > Zend Framework model classes. > Some of these model classes make database calls.
