Rather than using controller/action/key1/value1/key2/value2 as my URL, I’d like to use controller/action/value1/value2. I think I could do this by defining a custom route in my Bootstrap class, but I want my entire application to behave this way, so adding a custom route for each action is out of the question.

Is this possible? If so, how would I then access valueN? I’d like to be able to define the parameters in my action method’s signature. e.x.:

 // PostsController.php

 public function view($postID) {
      echo 'post ID: ' . $postID;
 }

I’m using Zend Framework 1.9.3

Thanks!

    While I don’t think it’s possible with the current router to allow N values (a fixed number would work) you could write a custom router that would do it for you.

    I would question this approach, however, and suggest that actually listing all of your routes won’t take long and will be easier in the long run. A route designed as you’ve suggested would mean that either your named parameters are always in the same order, i.e.

    /controller/action/id/title/colour

    or that they are almost anonymous

    /controller/action/value1/value2/value3

    With code like 

    $this->getRequest()->getParam('value2'); //fairly meaningless
