Zend framework: how to get user id form zend auth to zend form

Question

I have a form comment. I want to get the user ID from Zend_Auth to insert into my database. How can I do it?

Answer 1

If Zend_Auth has been instantiated, then:

1. Get an instance of it:
   $auth = Zend_Auth::getInstance();

2. Get the identity you must have stored on authentication success:
   $identity = $auth->getIdentity();
   

3. Use the identity according to the model of what you stored.
