Zend Registry usage in DotKernel

In DotKernel, Zend_Registry will contain the following variables:

• startTime – the result of microtime() at the beginning of the request
• configuration – the configuration options loaded from configs/application.ini
• router – routing settings loaded from configs/router.xml
• database – the database adapter
• settings – the settings loaded from the database
• requestModule, requestController, requestAction – the module, controller and action of the current request
• request – additional request variables
• seo – seo information loaded from configs/dots/seo.xml (site name, default description, keywords etc)
• option – the options for the current dot loaded from configs/dots/<moduleName>.xml
• session – the session object

To use the variables in the registry, you must first get an instance of the registry object:

$registry = Zend_Registry::getInstance();
//...
echo $registry->startTime;
//...
echo $registry->requestAction;

Or if you only need one variable from the registry, you can get it directly using:

$action = Zend_Registry::get('requestAction');

You can find more information about Zend_Registry, in the Zend Framework Documentation.
