my question is simple:

How do I add an API and/or 3rd party library to my ZendFramework application in a way which makes it possible to access it in a controller

Here is a blog post detailing how to achieve this: http://blog.keppens.biz/2009/05/add-your-own-library-to-your-new-zend.html

Alternatively, if you don't want to tweak the application.ini file, you can do it through your Bootstrap class. Add this function to Bootstrap:

 protected function _initAutoload() {
    $loader = Zend_Loader_Autoloader::getInstance();
    $loader->registerNamespace('MyCode_');
}

Then in the "library" folder, you would add a folder called "MyCode". This folder should be parallel to the "Zend" folder. Naturally you should change "MyCode" to reflect the name of the library you're adding.

I should note that by using the above method, I'm assuming the code uses the PEAR naming scheme (just like ZF).

What is the "PEAR" naming scheme? bit.ly/2sskY5 I did not get the right meaning. Is that: PACKAGENAME::CLASSNAME the convention? That assumes, that i have to add MYPACKAGE:: to the namespace instead of MYPACKAGE_ right?
