Question

I’m learning Yii and got into url routing problem.
I have a controller as follows

class PageController extends Controller
{
public function actionIndex()
{

    echo 'index';
}
    public function actionGetPage($page = '')
{
            echo $page;
}

and in config/main.php

    'urlManager'=>array(
        'urlFormat'=>'path',
        'rules'=>array(
                            'page'=>'page/index',
                            '<controller:\w+>/<id:\d+>'=>'<controller>/view',
            '<controller:\w+>/<action:\w+>/<id:\d+>'=>'<controller>/<action>',
            '<controller:\w+>/<action:\w+>'=>'<controller>/<action>',
        ),
    ),

How can i set url rules so when i use http://localhost/page/About it should work and print “About”

On way to do it:
In your route configuration, you should have something like:

'page/<key>' => 'page/index',

And define actionIndex() as follows:

public function actionIndex($key) {
  echo $key;
...

Note the extra parameter required by actionView… . That will be equal to the used in the URL.
