Re: [fw-mvc] How to use hostnames within zend router properly

Hi Pieter,

You might want to take a look at a post on my blog: http://www.noginn.com/2008/09/03/using-subdomains-as-account-keys/

The new route chaining might be what you are after, if I understood
your e-mail correctly.

Here is a snippet from my post:

$pathRoute = new Zend_Controller_Router_Route(
':controller/:action/*',
array(
'controller' => 'index',
'action' => 'index'
)
);

$accountRoute = new Zend_Controller_Router_Route_Hostname(
':account.myapp.com',
array(
'module' => 'account',
),
array(
'account' => '([a-z0-9]+)',
)
);
$router->addRoute('account', $accountRoute->chain($pathRoute));

Hope that helps,

Tom
