Re: [fw-mvc] Using MVC with $_GET instead mod_rewrite

By default, if you pass only http://domain/?controller=yourController&action=yourAction is enough to ZF find the right controller and action.
If you want to access the default module or index controller or index actions, you don't need to pass their params, once ZF will redirect to its default values ('default' for module and 'index' for action and controller).

If you want to trigger a loginAction action on your AccountController, for example, just do this:

http://domain/?controller=account&action=login

If you have more than one module, you just need to pass the module variable with the name of your module, like:

http://domain/?module=yourModule&controller=yourController&action=yourAction

No special configuration is needed. When you have params to pass together, just add them on the URL query.
It should work fine without the mod_rewrite.

I use a custom Request class with URL like this:

http://example.com/index.php?p=module/controller/action/key1/value1/key2/value2 etc...

This is the code (with stripped comments) of my Custom/Controller/Request/Pvariant.php:

<?php

/** Zend_Controller_Request_Exception */
require_once 'Zend/Controller/Request/Exception.php';

/** Zend_Controller_Request_Http */
require_once 'Zend/Controller/Request/Http.php';

/** Zend_Uri */
require_once 'Zend/Uri.php';

class Custom_Controller_Request_Pvariant extends Zend_Controller_Request_Http
{
   protected $_pathKey = 'p';

   public function setPathKey($key)
   {
       $this->_pathKey = (string) $key;
       return $this;
   }

   public function getPathKey()
   {
       return $this->_pathKey;
   }

   public function setPathInfo($pathInfo = null)
   {
       parent::setPathInfo($pathInfo);
       if (isset($_GET[$this->_pathKey])) {
           $this->_pathInfo = (string) $this->_pathInfo . $_GET[$this->_pathKey];
       }
       return $this;
   }

}

?>

and then, in bootstrap.php, before dispatch

$request = new Custom_Controller_Request_Pvariant();
$front->setRequest($request);

Maybe this method was not the best way (for sure was not the best way) but it's the only practicable that I have found without mod_rewrite and with the minimum effort...

Is it possible to set up Zend MVC without using mod_rewrite, like this:

http://example.com/index.php?controller=myController&method=myMethod

Where do I start?
