Junior, With the example above, there is no post id. If you try the url as http://mysite.com/posts/some-title-name/id/10 Then inside your controller action you could do $id = $this->_getParam('id'). With the way you have it, you'd need to look up the post by the title. That could be tough since the title has been mangled to work in a URL. Also, it means that your post titles would need to be unique. Instead, I'd probably include the post id in the url rewrite rule like so: $route = new Zend_Controller_Router_Route( 'posts/:id/:title', array ('controller' => 'posts', 'action' => 'show' ), array ('id' => '\d+')); $router->addRoute('postShow', $route); This means your url would be: http://mysite.com/posts/10/some-title-name In this case, too, when you do $this->_getParam('id'), you'll get the id (10 in this case). $this->_getParam('title') would give you "some-title-name". If you go with this way, the title part is not really important for finding the post, although I understand it can help with SEO. The last parameter in the route setup ( array('id => '\d+') ) is a regular expression to let the router know what are valid values for that parameter posistion. In this case it's saying 1 or more digits. If you were to try something like http://mysite.com/posts/1b2/some-title-name, the dispatcher would try to route to the 1b2 action in your posts controller. You could also deal with non-digit characters inside your controller rather than have an error thrown. Hope this helps, David
