Any parameters that are optional should be done with named parameters,
ie
/your/action/id:123/parent:32
in your action just look at $this->passedArgs['id'] and $this-
>passedArgs['parent']. These do not interfere with required
parameters, and can be in any order. For example, given the action
function edit( $id=null ){
$this->log( $this->passedArgs['parent'] );
$this->log( $this->passedArgs['sibling'] );
}
you could access via
/controller/edit/1
/controller/edit/1/parent:123/sibling:432
/controller/edit/sibling:432/parent:123/1
and all would have the $id = 1
