php - Zend and Social Engine 4 - getting zend database configuration information -

before hand - regarding issue! running social engine 4.8.7 trying information default zend database configuration settings , new zend framework.

the internet has yielded many answers in none work... in our controller have tried:

$this->getinvokearg('bootstrap')->getoptions()  

- fatal error: call undefined method ::getinvokearg()

new zend_config($this->getoptions()); 

- fatal error: call undefined method ::getoptions()

$this->application->getoptions()  

- fatal error: call undefined method ::getoptions()

zend_controller_front::getinstance()->getparam('bootstrap')->getoptions(); 

- returns empty array " array(0) { } "

zend_registry::get('db') 

- gives null

zend_registry::getinstance()['db'] 

- gives null

and have tried many other suggestions either give null or fatal errors our controller.php

at current our temporary solution not elegant @ works:

$config = new zend_config(include 'application/settings/database.php'); $config->adapter 

which gives "mysqli". above can used retrieving database configuration information causes - serious security concerns.

is there correct way of getting same information zend without having access file directly?

thanks

<?php  /**  * @var zend_db_adapter_abstract $adapter  */  $adapter = engine_api::_()->getmodulebootstrap('core')->getcontainer()->offsetget('db'); $config = $adapter->getconfig();
