Integrate Zend framework library in codeigniter, Including Zend Library within Codeigniter

Today I will show you how to Integrate Zend framework library in Codeigniter.
First you need to download Zend libraries (Zend Framework 1.12.3 Minimal) from their official site.
Then copy the library folder to “Application/Libraries/” folder

Now you need to create a loader for codeigniter to use those libraries. Save this code to Application/Libraries/Zend.php file as above

if (!defined('BASEPATH')) { exit('No direct script access allowed'); }

class Zend {

public function __construct($class = NULL) {

ini_set('include_path',ini_get('include_path') . PATH_SEPARATOR . APPPATH . 'libraries');

if ($class) {

require_once (string) $class . EXT;

log_message('debug', "Zend Class $class Loaded");

}else {

log_message('debug', "Zend Class Initialized");

}

}

public function load($sClassName) {

require_once (string) $sClassName . EXT;

log_message('debug', "-> Zend Class $sClassName Loaded from the library");

}

}

That’s it. Now call library what you need from your method in Controller.
Here I show one example to load Blogger class.

 $this->load->library('zend');

$this->zend->load('Zend/Loader');

Zend_Loader::loadClass('Zend_Gdata');

Zend_Loader::loadClass('Zend_Gdata_Query');

Zend_Loader::loadClass('Zend_Gdata_ClientLogin');

Here I show one example to load Google Spreedsheet.

public function index(){

$this->load->library('zend');

$this->zend->load('Zend/Gdata/Spreadsheets');

$oSpreadSheet = new Zend_Gdata_Spreadsheets();



$entry = $oSpreadSheet->newCellEntry();

$cell = $oSpreadSheet->newCell();

$cell->setText('My cell value');

$cell->setRow('1');

$cell->setColumn('3');

$entry->cell = $cell;

var_dump(  $entry );

}

Now enjoy the power of Zend in your Codeigniter web application.
