Question

Greetings everyone

Using the request object, I can’t get a sole value as in this URI:

http://mydomain.com/controller/action/value1

Using $request->getParams() is not returning the value1.

Output:

array([controller] => 'controller', [action] => 'action')

The key is missing.

The issue itself is quite simple and I could parse the URI myself, but actually I want ZF to do it (right?). I couldn’t find a hint using google or on SO.

How am I able to get a key without a value?

Answer 1

For default, Zend Framework expects the parameters in URL to be in the form of /key/value. Try this:

http://mydomain.com/controller/action/key1/value1

print_r($request->getParams());

The result is:

Array
(
    [controller] => controller
    [action] => action
    [key1] => value1
)

Edit: as others mentioned, If you want to stick with http://mydomain.com/controller/action/value1 you should take a look at Zend_Controller_Router.
