Question

I am using Zend to make a social network. I created a UserController for authentication and a BlogController. When I enter siteurl/user/userid the information of the user is retrived. How can I make the blog controller inside user controller, so when I click the blog button of the user controller the website will direct me to the user’s blog?

I’m not sure exactly what you mean. In your view, you can simply put a button with a link in plain html:

<a href="siteurl/blog/showblog/userid/#"><button>View Blog</button></a>

Of course, you could build your url with the view helper:
First, pass the userid parameter to the view from your controller:

$this->view->userid = $this->_getParam('userid');

And then in your view script:

<a href="<? echo $this->url(array(
'controller'=>'blog',
'action'=>'showblog',
'userid'=>$this->userid));?>"><button>View Blog</button></a>
