Continuing from my post last week of notes on the Zend Framework, IÂ’d like to provide some pointers on using helpers with views in a much more automated way.
Just as views can be automated—that is, you don’t have to instantiate a Zend_View object; the controller does it all for you when you call $this->render() from any controller action—you do not have to explicitly tell Zend_View where your helpers reside, as the manual suggests. Instead, place your helpers in a special “helpers” folder where the Zend_Controller_Action’s initView() can find them.
