Hope I haven't misunderstood the problem, but aren't you using the registry to store the database credentials? That might be worth a look... If you're not doing that/tempted, how about instead just grabbing those database credentials into a function and calling that? // Database connection function function connect_db() { // Include() the Zend config so we can grab the db vars $path = realpath($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/../library/'); // we have already updated the include path... require_once 'library/Zend/Config/Ini.php'; $db_config = new Zend_Config_Ini('../config/databases.ini','production'); // Database Credentials $db_config_username = $db_config->db->mydb->config->username; $db_config_password = $db_config->db->mydb->config->password;; $db_config_dbname = $db_config->db->mydb->config->dbname; $db_config_host = $db_config->db->mydb->config->host; // use MySQL by default $cmsLink = mysql_connect($db_config_host,$db_config_username,$db_config_password); if($cmsLink) $dbConn = mysql_select_db($db_config_dbname,$cmsLink); return $dbConn; } This example assumes a functions file is sitting outside of (above) the docroot. You may need to adjust the paths as necessary. The corresponding config file (config/databases.ini) would look something like this: [production] ;; My database db.mydb.adapter = "PDO_MYSQL" db.mydb.config.host = "localhost" db.mydb.config.username = "username" db.mydb.config.password = "password" db.mydb.config.dbname = "your-db" db.mydb.config.port = 3306 You could then include() the functions file in your code. A call to connect_db() function would either return the database object or MySQL error. Then you could keep your db credentials in the one ZF config file but use them across the application.
