Zend Framework Action Step By Step Tutorial - Part 3: Just remember, we have rule like this: http://hostname/controller/action/parametes. We have talked about controller. Now, we discuss next part, action.

For simply, action is method in our class at controller. Look at our code:


<?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');
  }
    
}
?>

Above, we have action name "index". Naming in Zend Framework, add with Action. Thus, we have action "indexAction". When we call this controller (such as user), but we don't specify action, it will call indexAction as default.

Now, add a method in there, example "nameAction" such as:


  public function nameAction()
  {
    $this->view->assign('name', 'Wiwit');
    $this->view->assign('title', 'User Name');  
  }

Below, complete our userController:


<?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()
  {
    $this->view->assign('name', 'Wiwit');
    $this->view->assign('title', 'User Name');  
  } 
    
}
?>

Next, create a file named "name.phtml" within views/scrips/user. Enter following code:


<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title><? echo $this->escape($this->title); ?></title>
</head>

<body>
  <h1><?=$this->escape($this->title);?>, <?=$this->escape($this->name);?></h1>
</body>
</html>

Now, point your browser to http://localhost/test/zend/helloworld/web_root/user/name
