本文实例讲述了Zend Framework动作助手(Zend_Controller_Action_Helper)用法。分享给大家供大家参考，具体如下：
通过助手模式，可以把一些经常使用的功能模块做封装，从而在可以在需要的地方灵活使用，主要是在action使用。
Zend Framework中有两种助手，动作助手(Zend_Controller_Action_Helper)和试图助手(Zend_View_Helper)。
动作助手可以向任何Zend_Controller_Action的衍生动作控制器中，即时的加入功能(runtime and/or on-demand functionality)，以使得增加公共的动作控制器功能时，尽量减少衍生动作控制器类的必要。
动作助手在需要调用时加载，可以在请求的时候(bootstrap)或者动作控制器创建的时候(init())实例化。

常见的动作助手有：
FlashMessenger 用来处理Flash Messenger会话； Json 用来解码和发送 JSON 响应； Url 用于创建Urls； Redirector 提供另一种实现方式，帮助程序重定向到内部或者外部页面； ViewRenderer 自动的完成在控制器内建立视图对象并渲染视图的过程； AutoComplete 自动响应 AJAX 的自动完成； ContextSwitch 和 AjaxContext 为你的动作提供替代响应格式； Cache 实现cache的相关操作； ActionStack 用于操作动作堆栈。
动手的几种实例化使用方式
1.通过Zend_Controller_Action的 $_helper成员的getHelper()方法。直接调用getHelper()，传入助手的名称即可。
$redirector = $this->_helper->getHelper('Redirector');
//$redirector->getName();
$redirector->gotoSimple('index2');
2.直接通过访问的_helper助手的属性对应的助手对象。
$redirector = $this->_helper->Redirector;
Zend_Controller_Action_HelperBroker
中文名称译作"助手经纪人",顾名思义，是动作助手的中间人。
在动作的实例化使用的方式的第二种方式就是通过Zend_Controller_Action_HelperBroker的魔术方法__get()来实现的。
助手经纪人用于注册助手对象和助手路径以及获取助手等等功能。

助手经纪人的常见用法：
一、注册一个助手
1.
Zend_Controller_Action_HelperBroker::addHelper($helper);2.通过addPrefix()方法带有一个类前缀参数，用来加入自定义助手类的路径。 要求前缀遵循Zend Framework的类命名惯例。
// Add helpers prefixed with My_Action_Helpers in My/Action/Helpers/
Zend_Controller_Action_HelperBroker::addPrefix('My_Action_Helpers');
3.使用addPath()方法第一个参数为一个目录，第二个为类前缀(默认为'Zend_Controller_Action_Helper')。
用来将自己的类前缀映射到指定的目录。
// Add helpers prefixed with Helper in Plugins/Helpers/
Zend_Controller_Action_HelperBroker::addPath('./Plugins/Helpers',
'Helper');
二、判读助手是否存在
使用hasHelper($name)方法来判定助手经纪人中是否存在某助手，$name是助手的短名称（去掉前缀的）：
// Check if 'redirector' helper is registered with the broker:
if (Zend_Controller_Action_HelperBroker::hasHelper('redirector')) {
echo 'Redirector helper registered';
}
从助手经纪人中获取助手有两个静态方法：getExistingHelper() 和 getStaticHelper() 。getExistingHelper()将获取助手仅当它以前调用过或者显性地通过助手经纪人注册过，否则就抛出一个异常。getStaticHelper() 的做法和getExistingHelper()一样，但如果还没有注册助手堆栈，它将尝试初始化助手，为获取你要配置的的助手，getStaticHelper()是一个好的选择。
两个方法都带一个参数，$name，它是助手的短名称（去掉前缀）。
// Check if 'redirector' helper is registered with the broker, and fetch:
if (Zend_Controller_Action_HelperBroker::hasHelper('redirector')) {
$redirector =
Zend_Controller_Action_HelperBroker::getExistingHelper('redirector');
}
// Or, simply retrieve it, not worrying about whether or not it was
// previously registered:
$redirector =
Zend_Controller_Action_HelperBroker::getStaticHelper('redirector');
}
三、removeHelper($name)删除助手经纪人中的某个助手，$name是助手的短名称。
// Conditionally remove the 'redirector' helper from the broker:
if (Zend_Controller_Action_HelperBroker::hasHelper('redirector')) {
Zend_Controller_Action_HelperBroker::removeHelper('redirector')
}
