View Scripts

[Thomas List]

Hello,

I am creating a controller, Mainewap, in Zend and it is creating the view script directory and index as it should. However, in another controller, I am getting the state, Maine, and trying to append 'wap' to the end of the name, to handle information specific to low income programs.   However, when I append "wap" to the end of the state name, Zend decides to split it up randomly with a dash, so it may come out as main-ewap, and won't find the directory.  Is there any way to ensure that when I create the state's second view script of information, it doesn't put a random dash in the name?

I'm not sure if I explained the problem well enough, but i basically want to create the name of an existing controller in another file, and redirect to the properly named view script directory associated with the controller.  No random dashes.  Is this possible?

Regards,
Thomas

How exactly are you appending? And what exactly are you appending?

I notice you named the controller "Mainewap" which leads me to believe that you know the difference between naming the controller:

"Mainewap" vs
"MaineWap".

The difference is that the second variation is "inflected" to/from "maine-wap" where the first stays as "Mainewap".

This leads me to believe that the string you are ending up with looks something like "MainEwap". If you want to reference a directory of "maine-wap" you likely need to ensure that you have "MaineWap" or you should just build the directory name without handing it to the inflector.

Of course, I'm taking a shot in the dark as you didn't exactly spell-out your entire workflow so it really is difficult to know for sure what the correct solution should be.

If you have more information to add, that would be great.
