Custom Zend_Controller_Router_Route

Question

I am trying to set up a Zend Controller Route to Route to ALL of the Following URLs:

• http://www.domain.com/controller
• http://www.domain.com/controller/id
• http://www.domain.com/controller/action
• http://www.domain.com/controller/id/action

Is this possible with Zend Framework?

In particular I am having trouble routing to:

• http://www.domain.com/controller/id/action

The router seems to be getting confused and routes to Controller->1Action

Answer 1

You have to have three different routes IMO. And they all need to be "regex" - so that the strings and numbers are not mixed up.

Answer 2

Routes are checked in reverse order. So place first the controller/id/action route and then afterwards the controller/id and controller/action.

Furthermore, use regex in your routes to distinguish an id and action. Because they appears the same for the router. When you explicitly says the id is 0-9 and action is a-zA-Z this can be fixed.
