Question

I have a search action in Zend Framework.

And code is:

function searchAction()
{
    $keyword = $this->getRequest()->getParam('keyword');
    if( !empty($keyword) )
    {
        //@todo here
    }
}

I use the url like below to post keyword to the action:

/index/search/keyword/google

With:

• index: controller
• search: action
• keyword & google: a pair of param and value.

Everything is OK until the user searches the keyword with value is “/” character

/index/search/keyword//
=>: getParam(‘keyword’) is empty

I have tried to use %2F (which is encoded of “/”)

/index/search/keyword/%2F
=>: 404 Error

How can I fix this issue?

You can try to add route in your bootstrap.php

$router = $frontController->getRouter();

$router->addRoute(
        'searchOncontrollername',
        new Zend_Controller_Router_Route('/controllername/search/:keyword', array('controller' => 'controllername',
                                                          'action' => 'search'
            )));

after that you can work with variable keyword in controller:

$keyword  = $this->getRequest()->getParam("keyword");
