Hi,
I'm just starting out with ZF trying to shoehorn it into an older
product as we start to (slowly) reimplement it based on a more robust
design (I know that it should really be ripped right out and we should
start again but sadly that just wont happen!).
Anyway, I'm using Zend_Controller_Router_Route_Regex, and have found
some odd behaviour that I'm not 100% sure is deliberate and wonder if
someone could confirm this is expected or if it's actually a bug!
Say I have a regexp route along the lines of:
$route = new Zend_Controller_Router_Route_Regex(
'(mytype|othertype)/(\d+)(/.*)?',
array(
'module' => 'Blah',
'controller' => 'Blah',
'action' => 'Blah'
),
array(
1 => 'type',
2 => 'id',
3 => 'path'
)
);
The above code should match the following URLs
1) /mytype/123
2) /othertype/123
3) /mytype/123/
4) /mytype/123/wibble
The variables will be:
type:
1) mytype
2) othertype
3) mytype
4) mytype
id:
1) 123
2) 123
3) 123
4) 123
so far so good but here is where it get's odd.
path:
1) NULL (good)
2) NULL (good)
3) NULL (hmmmmmm??? I'd expect "/")
4) /wibble (good)
So my question is, why is the case three not returning my expected value
of "/".
Is this perhaps my a problem with my PCRE version (7.6)? Or PHP version
(5.2.5)? My ZF version (1.5.1)? Or is this actually expected?
The reason I want this is that if I find "path" to be empty I want to
append a trailing slash to it and redirect to allow for relative
hyperlinks to work properly (this is legacy code remember). I can do
this in my controller by doing something like:
if (empty($this->_getParam('path'))
&& '/' != substr($this->getRequest()->getRequestUri(), -1))
{
// Redirect.
}
but this seems like a hack/workaround.
Am I missing something?
Cheers
Col
