this is my Controller

class BrowsingHistoryController extends Zend_Controller_Action{//my actions }

this is my action

public function browsinghistoryAction(){}

and this is my folder structure in scripts

scripts
 ->BrowsingHistory
   ->browsinghistory.phtml

i did the same thing for my controllers thats working fine dont know why this is not working ?? Any idea

Answer 1

You just need to rename the BrowsingHistory folder under /scripts into browsing-history and your problem will be gone!

Basically, controllers and actions are in camelCase, but scripts aren't, you just need to transform and replace every capital letter in lower-case letter and add a dash as follow:

• camelCase becomes camel-case
• camelCaseTest becomes camel-case-test
• BrowsingHistory becomes browsing-history

Answer 2

  Controller Name = Directory Name
  Action     Name = file.phtml

Answer 3

Try the followig structure :

application/
    browsinghistory/
        controllers/
            BrowsinghistoryController.php
        models/
        views/
            scripts/
                browsinghistory/
                   browsinghistory.phtml

and change your controller's name to BrowsinghistoryController :

class BrowsinghistoryController extends Zend_Controller_Action{//my actions }
