Hey, Both the constructor and the startMvc() static method can accept either an array of options or a Zend_Config object with options in order to configure the Zend_Layout instance.
Example: $options = array( 'layout' => 'foo', 'layoutPath' => '/path/to/layouts' ); $view = Zend_Layout::startMvc($options)->getView(); You should read the manual. Vince.
