bootstrapping - Zend Framework: How to pass data from bootstrap to layout? -

i have configuration values set in application.ini , want pass values layout on application load. how can bootstrap ? trial tried doing this

in bootstrap initialization function:

$this->bootstrap('view'); $view = $this->getresource('view'); $view->layout()->whatever = "some value"; 

in layout:

<?php echo $this->layout()->whatever; ?> 

but m not able value display in layout.

the following should work:

$this->bootstrap('view'); $view = $this->getresource('view'); $view->whatever = 'some value'; 

then, in layout:

<?php echo $this->whatever ?>
