simple example of zend_layout.

First we define some defined default.

defined('APPLICATION_PATH')
 || define('APPLICATION_PATH', 
     realpath(dirname(dirname(__FILE__)) . '/application'));
define('CONFIG_PATH', realpath(APPLICATION_PATH . '/configs'));
define('LAYOUT_PATH', realpath(APPLICATION_PATH . '/layouts'));

define('PUBLIC_URL', '/zftut/public');

The next, we create LayoutController.

<?php
class LayoutController extends Zend_Controller_Action{
 
 public function indexAction(){
  $options = array(
       'layoutPath'=> LAYOUT_PATH . '/scripts',
       'layout' => 'index',
       'viewSuffix' => 'phtml'
      );
  Zend_Layout::startMvc($options);
 }
 
 public function mainAction(){
  $options = array(
       'layoutPath'=> LAYOUT_PATH . '/scripts',
       'layout' => 'main',
       'viewSuffix' => 'php'
      );
  Zend_Layout::startMvc($options);
 }
 
 public function changeLayoutAction() {
  $this->_helper->layout->setLayout('main2');
 }
 
 public function disableAction(){
  
  $this->_helper->layout->disableLayout();
 }
 
 public function noViewAction(){
  
  $this->_helper->viewRenderer->setNoRender();
 }
 
 public function placeHolderAction(){
  $this->view->placeholder('Zend_Layout')->foo = ' This is a test';  
  $this->_helper->layout->setLayout('index');
 }
}

File layout in application\layouts\scripts\index.phtml

<?php echo $this->doctype() ?>
<html>
<head>
    <?php echo $this->headTitle() ?>
    <?php echo $this->headMeta() ?>
    <?php echo $this->headLink() ?>
    <?php echo $this->headScript() ?>
</head>
<body>
    <h1>Layout.phtml</h1>
    <?php echo $this->layout()->content ?>
    <?php echo $this->layout()->foo;?>
</body>
</html>

1. Create a directory \ templates as shown below:

2. Create index.phtml file in the folder \application\templates\admin with the following contents:

<?php echo $this->doctype(); ?>
<html>
<head>
   <?php echo $this->headMeta(); ?>
   <?php echo $this->headTitle(); ?>
   <?php echo $this->headLink(); ?>
</head>
<body>
<h1>
 Admin theme</h1>
<?php echo $this->layout()->content; ?>

</body>
</html>

3. Create index.phtml file in the folder \application\templates\default
with the following contents:

<?php echo $this->doctype(); ?>
<html>
<head>
   <?php echo $this->headMeta(); ?>
   <?php echo $this->headTitle(); ?>
   <?php echo $this->headLink(); ?>
</head>
<body>
<h1>
 Default theme</h1>
<?php echo $this->layout()->content; ?>

</body>
</html>

4. Load layout in Admin modules: - Create function init () in
\application\modules\admin\controllers\IndexController.php
with the following contents:

public function init(){
      
      $layoutPath = APPLICATION_PATH  . '/templates/admin';
      $option = array ('layout' => 'index', 
                   'layoutPath' => $layoutPath );
      Zend_Layout::startMvc ( $option );
      
}

5. Load layout in Default modules. - Create function init () in
application\modules\default\controllers\IndexController.php
with the following contents:

public function init(){
      
      $layoutPath = APPLICATION_PATH  . '/templates/default';
      $option = array ('layout' => 'index', 
                   'layoutPath' => $layoutPath );
      Zend_Layout::startMvc ( $option );
      
}
