If you will only have one module, yes, this will work. The companyname
will then be pushed into the request object, and you can grab it using
getParam('companyname').
If *all* controllers will be accessed this way, I'd recommend you set
this as the "default" route (instead of "newroute"), to ensure that te
companyname identifier is required for all controller/action pairs.
Finally, you should likely look into the route chaining mechanism:
http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/zend.controller.router.html#zend.controller.router.routes.chain
In this case, you would do something like this:
$companyRoute = new Zend_Controller_Router_Route(':companyname');
$defaultRoute = new Zend_Controller_Router_Route_Module(
array(),
$dispatcher,
$request
);
$chainRoute = new Zend_Controller_Router_Route_Chain();
$chainRoute->chain($companyRoute)
->chain($defaultRoute);
$router->addRoute('default', $chainRoute);
(You'll have to grab the dispatcher and request prior to this, obviously.)
The above has the advantage of also allowing multiple modules in your
application, while still requiring the companyname prefix.
