Trouble connecting to MySQL Zend Framework

Question

I'm trying to set up an application using the Zend Framework but the problem i'm getting is as soon as i add the following line in the application.ini the default home page that is created by the zend tool throws a fatal error

Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Zend_Db_Adapter_Exception' with message 'Configuration array must have a key for 'password' for login credentials' in C:\xampp\php\PEAR\Zend\Db\Adapter\Abstract.php:295 Stack trace: #0 C:\xampp\php\PEAR\Zend\Db\Adapter\Abstract.php(183): Zend_Db_Adapter_Abstract->_checkRequiredOptions(Array) #1 C:\xampp\php\PEAR\Zend\Db.php(270): Zend_Db_Adapter_Abstract->__construct(Array) #2 C:\xampp\php\PEAR\Zend\Application\Resource\Db.php(142): Zend_Db::factory('PDO_MYSQL', Array) #3 C:\xampp\php\PEAR\Zend\Application\Resource\Db.php(154): Zend_Application_Resource_Db->getDbAdapter() #4 C:\xampp\php\PEAR\Zend\Application\Bootstrap\BootstrapAbstract.php(683): Zend_Application_Resource_Db->init() #5 C:\xampp\php\PEAR\Zend\Application\Bootstrap\BootstrapAbstract.php(626): Zend_Application_Bootstrap_BootstrapAbstract->_executeResource('db')

Do not omit these lines:

resources.db.params.username = rob
resources.db.params.password = 123456

set them to "root" or "" if necessary, but let them into your application.ini.
