Hi Joseph,
What I usually do is three fold:
1. Add is as the default adapter to Zend_Db_Table for use by all my Zend based Models. This also acts as a Registry by the way, since you can call Zend_Db_Table::getDefaultAdapter() anywhere.
2. Add it to a Registry as would be normal practice.
3. Possibly add it as a Front Controller parameter so you can retrieve it from any controller action using that method.
Where possible I prefer 3, simply because I prefer to avoid as many static calls in my controllers as possible. But a Registry works just fine so long as you use it only as needed.

In my index.php bootstrap file I setup the database connection into a
variable $db. Now I need to access this in other controllers. This
seems like a dumb question to me but do I need to global $db; before I
can access it in the indexAction method of the controller or is it in
the global scope by default?
Thanks,
Joseph Crawford
