Zend Framework Action: GET Parameters

Zend Framework Action Step By Step Tutorial - Part 4: Now, we talk last part or URL in Zend Framework, parameters. Ok, what the rule in Zend Framework? Look this URL sample:

http://hostname/user/name/username/wiwit/gender/man

We can interpret like this:

Controller = user
Action = name
username = wiwit
gender = man

What is your conclusion? Yeah, we have general formula like this:

http://hostname/controller/action/var1/value1/var2/value2/...

How to catch the parameters? Ok, we can learn from sample. Open UserController.php within application/controller. Update became like this:

<?php
require_once 'Zend/Controller/Action.php';

class UserController extends Zend_Controller_Action
{
  public function indexAction()
  {
    $this->view->assign('name', 'Wiwit');
    $this->view->assign('title', 'Hello');
  }
  
  public function nameAction()
  {
  
    $request = $this->getRequest();
    $this->view->assign('name', $request->getParam('username'));
    $this->view->assign('gender', $request->getParam('gender'));	  
		
    $this->view->assign('title', 'User Name');
  }  
}
?>

Give attention at line 15-17. It is clear, isn't it?

Last, update your view: "name.phtml":
