title: How to add your own library to Zend Framework
body: <p>So i have been designig an application to run on the Zend Framework 1.11 And as any programmer would do when he sees repeated functionalities i wanted to go build a base class with said functionalities.</p>
  
  <p>Now my plan is to build a library 'My' so i made a folder in the library directory in the application. So it looks like this</p>
  
  <pre><code>Project 
     Application 
     docs 
     library 
        My 
     public 
     test
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>So i created a  BaseController class in the My folder and then decided to have the IndexController in my application extend the BaseController. </p>
  
  <p>The Basecontroller looks like this :</p>
  
  <pre><code>class My_BaseController extends Zend_Controller_Action
  {
  
      public function indexAction()
      {
          $this-&gt;view-&gt;test = 'Hallo Wereld!';
      }
  
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And the IndexController looks like this :</p>
  
  <pre><code>class WMSController extends My_BaseController
  {
  
      public function indexAction()
      {
          parent::indexAction();
      }
  
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>As adviced by a number of resources i tried adding the namespace for the library in the application.ini using the line</p>
  
  <pre><code>autoloadernamespaces.my = “My_”
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But when i try to run this application i recieve the following error</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Fatal error: Class 'My_BaseController' not found in
    C:\wamp\www\ZendTest\application\controllers\IndexController.php</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Am i missing something here? Or am i just being a muppet and should try a different approach?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance!</p>
