Sorry, I thought you were suggesting the routing wasn't needed. I replace it, added your debug code suggestion & this is the result:
URL address: http://localhost/links/add/http://www.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3DvDVnuFxsfbE URL passed to form currently: www.youtube.com debug result: array(8) { ["controller"]=> string(5) "links" ["action"]=> &string(3) "add" ["named"]=> array(1) { ["http"]=> string(0) "" } ["pass"]=> array(2) { [0]=> string(15) "www.youtube.com" [1]=> string(5) "watch" } ["plugin"]=> NULL ["form"]=> array(0) { } ["url"]=> array(2) { ["url"]=> string(37) "links/add/http:/www.youtube.com/watch" ["v"]=> string(11) "vDVnuFxsfbE" } ["models"]=> array(1) { [0]=> string(4) "Link" } } Current routing code: Router::connect( '/links/add/:url', array( 'controller' => 'links', 'action' => 'add' ), array( //Looks for http:// 'url' => '^http\://[a-zA-Z0-9\-\.]+\.[a-zA-Z]{2,3}(/\S*)?$', // passes it 'pass' => array('url') ) ); ------------ add.ctp: echo $this->Form->input('Link.url', array('value' => $url, 'type' => 'text')); Thanks!
