Hi guys, I'm converting over a web-app to use the MVC structure of Zend Framework. I have a root.php include file that contains most of the database info, and some static variables that are used in the program. I'm not sure if some of this should be in the application.ini of in a model that is called by the init() function in a controller, or in the bootstrap or what?

Any help would be much appreciated!

root.php (include file at the top of every php page):

<?php

    /***
            //Configuration file
    */

    ## Site Configuration starts ##


    define("SITE_ROOT"      ,  dirname(__FILE__));


    define("SITE_URL"      ,  "http://localhost/monkeycalendarapp/monkeycalendarapp/public");
    define('DB_HOST', "localhost");
    define('DB_USER', "root");
    define('DB_PASS', "xxx");
    define('DB_NAME', "xxxxx");

    define("PROJECT_NAME"      ,  "Monkey Mind Manager (beta 2.2)"); //site title
    define("CALENDAR_WIDTH"      ,  "300"); //left mini calendar width
    define("CALENDAR_HEIGHT"    ,  "150"); //left mini calendar height

    $page_title = 'Event List';
  $stylesheet_name = 'style.css'; //default stylesheet


  define("SITE_URL_AJAX"    ,  SITE_URL . "/ajax-tooltip");
  define("JQUERY"    ,  SITE_URL . "/jquery-ui-1.7.2");

  $a_times    =  array("12:00","12:30","01:00","01:30","02:00","02:30","03:00","03:30","04:00","04:30","05:00","05:30","06:00","06:30","07:00","07:30","08:00","08:30","09:00","09:30","10:00","10:30","11:00","11:30");

  //PTLType Promotional timeline type
  $a_ptlType= array(1=>"Gigs","To-Do","Completed");

  $a_days      =  array("Su","Mo","Tu","We","Th","Fr","Sa");

  $a_timesMerd  =  array("12:00am","12:30am","01:00am","01:30am","02:00am","02:30am","03:00am","03:30am","04:00am","04:30am","05:00am","05:30am","06:00am","06:30am","07:00am","07:30am","08:00am","08:30am","09:00am","09:30am","10:00am","10:30am","11:00am","11:30am","12:00pm","12:30pm","01:00pm","01:30pm","02:00pm","02:30pm","03:00pm","03:30pm","04:00pm","04:30pm","05:00pm","05:30pm","06:00pm","06:30pm","07:00pm","07:30pm","08:00pm","08:30pm","09:00pm","09:30pm","10:00pm","10:30pm","11:00pm","11:30pm");

  //Setting stylesheet for this user.
  $AMPM=array("am"=>"am","pm"=>"pm");

  include(SITE_ROOT  .  "/includes/functions/general.php");
  include(SITE_ROOT  .  "/includes/db.php");

  session_start();
  if(isset($_SESSION['userData']['UserID']))  {
    $s_userID   =   $_SESSION['userData']['UserID'];
  }

  $stylesheet_name = stylesheet();

  ini_set('date.timezone', 'GMT');
  date_default_timezone_set('GMT');

  if($s_userID) {
    ini_set('date.timezone', $_SESSION['userData']['timezone']);
    date_default_timezone_set($_SESSION['userData']['timezone']);
  }
