Zend Framework: extend custom base controller from Zend_Controller_Action

Question

I want my controllers to be extended from my base controller (no from Zend_Controller_Action).

How can I extend my base Contoller from Zend_Contoller_Action. And where this custom base controller to be placed so it will be accessible to other contollers.

Thanks in advance

I assume, of course, you are aware of the arguments in favor of action helpers, for example, this article from Matthew Weier O'Phinney: http://devzone.zend.com/article/3350 — David Weinraub, Mar 06 '11 at 12:34

To extend write:

abstract class Mylib_YourBaseController extends Zend_Contoller_Action{
}

Create a directory called Mylib in the same place the Zend library is, that's it.

My_Controller_Action extends Zend_Controller_Action { ... }

Place it in library/My/Controller/Action.php , then in you're app.ini ( or at bootstrap ) you need to register the namespace My , then all you're controllers can extend My_Controller_Action .
