[fw-general] Zend Router Route dilemma and solution

[zendlearner]

Hi, I understand that by default Zend Framework uses a route definition of
:module/:controller/:action. As a result, if I have a domain called
http://domain.com, the following urls will dispatch to the indexAction of
the IndexController of the default module:

http://domain.com/default/index/index
http://domain.com/default/index
http://domain.com/index/index
http://domain.com/index
http://domain.com

I really did not want users to be able to type any of the above urls to gain
access to IndexController::indexAction(). Instead, I wanted users to type
only the following to access IndexController::indexAction():

http://domain.com
http://domain.com/index
http://domain.com/index.html

Here is how I did it:

1. I added a static route to the front controller to route
http://domain.com/index.html to IndexController::indexAction():

$router = $front->getRouter();
$route = new Zend_Controller_Router_Route_Static(
    'index.html',
    array(
        'controller' => 'index',
        'action'     => 'index',
        'module'     => 'default'
    )
);
$router->addRoute('home', $route);

2. I created an error.phtml view script for the IndexController
(app/view/scripts/index/error.phtml):

<h1>An error occurred</h1> 
<h2><?= $this->message ?></h2> 

3. In my indexAction(), I check the REQUEST_URI and take the user to the
error.phtml view script if the REQUEST_URI does not match any of the desired
REQUEST_URI:

public function indexAction() 
{
        $requestUri = explode("?", $this->_request->getRequestUri());
        
        if ($requestUri[0] != '/' && $requestUri[0] != '/index' && 
$requestUri[0]
!= '/index.html') {
                $this->_response->setHttpResponseCode(404);
                $this->view->message = 'Page not found';
                $this->_helper->viewRenderer->render('error');
        }
}
