Re: [fw-mvc] Re: Changing get parameters to controller/action/param/value/param/value

My intent was to find a way to change the part of the code where the get variables are picked up, so I can do:

 

$this->getRequest()->getParam('param');

 

from a url like http://example.com/?param=value

 

and convert it to http://example.com/param/value

 

using something like $request_uri = preg_replace("|/(.*)|", "\\1", str_replace("\\", "/", $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']));

 

So I would be manipulating the url that comes in and the variable from where the getParam method takes in the get parameters.

 

What variables would I need to change if I wrote a function in the bootstrap?

Guys, it's not just for better looking urls.

There is another problem with  /controller/action?param=value, url helper don't see get parameters, it only see parametersif they are zf style, so param will not be handled by url helper if it is not in zf param style.

People coming up with their own implementations for url helper which handles this, example http://robertbasic.com/blog/myurl-view-helper-for-zend-framework/

That would only be necessary if the desired form were actually required.  Zend's default router sees them as being equivalent: /controller/action/param/value /controller/action?param=value  so in both cases $this->getRequest()->getParam('param'); //returns 'value'  However, if you're wanting something like: /search/value   

For this, you only need a custom route. No extra rewrite.
The point in the original post is that for some unknown reason the get url should be consistent with the other urls in the application.
So the question is how can we make /controller/action?param=value appear as /controller/action/param/value
But the more important question, as pointed out by Andreas is "Why?"

then yes, you'll need to do the rewrite server-side.
