URL Re-writing

[Randell]

Hi guys,

I have a URL that looks like /controllername/actionname/firstparametername/firstparametervalue. How can I rewrite it using the Zend Framework way such that it will be redirected to and accessible using /controllername/firstparametervalue?

Thanks,

Did you try creating a custom .htaccess file?

Hi Patrick,

I was actually trying to avoid messing with the .htaccess file since I'm already using Zend and I wanted to do it the Zend way. In any case, I was able to make a simple routing with the help of these links:

provide custom route with defaults.  I don't think you really mean "redirect".

I'm just getting started with Zend.  I didn't realize that .htaccess files could be considered "non-zend".  Can you articulate that better?  I'm curious as to what the preferred approach would be.  .htaccess files seem pretty vanilla to me.

I am using a "getting started with Zend" book and it starts off with a bunch of redirect kungfu which doesn't appear to work correctly.

Don't hack the .htaccess. Use it to bootstrap Zend an then use routes for all your URLs.

@Patrick, Judah is correct. This is the more Zend-like way to do it.

Also, I've read in several forums that Zend Framework in Action is much better than Getting Started with Zend.

Ah, I actually meant both routing and redirecting. Right now, I am able to create the route but haven't done the redirecting part.

I was able to make /controllername/actionname/firstparametername/firstparametervalue accessible from /controllername/firstparametervalue, but the problem is that /controllername/actionname/firstparametername/firstparametervalue is still accessible. What I want to happen is make /controllername/firstparametervalue accessible. How to I make the original URL redirect silently to the new one?
