Closure Table working with Zend Framework

Hi,

after reading your book i went to test your experimental example that you use in your presentations. I have downloaded and i´m trying to make it work to learn more about this design using zend framework but i´m stalled.

I have downloaded the code from http://framework.zend.com/svn/framework/extras/...

I´m very new with Zend. I just follow a nice tutorial created by Rob Allen. After it i just jumped to your example.

here is how the code call on the fetchThreeByRoot

$rootId = 5 ; return $this->fetchTreeByRoot($rootId);

I have created SQL tables in my sql following schema defined in your presentation : http://www.slideshare.net/billkarwin/models-for…
I have recreated sone dummy data to make it works.

But i get the following error:

Fatal error: Call to a member function describeTable() on a non-object in library\Zend\Db\Table\Abstract.php on line 835

My connectivy with DB seems to be ok as i have setup application.ini properly because i oculd follow properly Rob tutorial.

would you mind to provide some hints to find out why the example might be failing?

kind regards.

That error usually indicates that you don’t have an object instance, you probably have a boolean FALSE returned by some previous function. I don’t think you have a valid DB connection. Please contact the ZF mailing list for support.
