Thread: Using zend without mod rewrite

Hi Fuzz,

I've done this by extending a router. As a Step by step of what I did:

First create, if not already created, a path in your libraries file to extend your zend configuration; for example ZendExt.

Inside this folder create a subfolder named Controller and now create a new php called Router.php.
The content of this file would be something like:

Code:

class ZendExt_Controller_Router extends Zend_Controller_Router_Abstract implements Zend_Controller_Router_Interface
{
    public function route(Zend_Controller_Request_Abstract $request)
    {
        $module = '';
        if(isset($_GET['module'])) {
            $controller = $_GET['module'];
        }
        $request->setModuleName($module);
        
        $controller = 'index';
        if(isset($_GET['controller'])) {
            $controller = $_GET['controller'];
        }

        $request->setControllerName($controller);

        $action = 'index';
        if(isset($_GET['action'])) {
            $action = $_GET['action'];
        }

        $request->setActionName($action);
    }
    
    public function assemble($userParams, $name = null, $reset = false, $encode = true)
    {}
}

Keep in mind the name of the class should be the same as the path to the class changing "/" for "_".

Now, set an autolloader for your classes in the application.ini:

Code:

autoloaderNamespaces.extension[] = "ZendExt_"

Finally go into the Bootstrap (/application/Bootstrap.php) and load your router. For example:

Code:

class Bootstrap extends Zend_Application_Bootstrap_Bootstrap
{
    ...

    /**
    * Bootstrap Router
    */
    protected function _initRouter()
    {
        $this->bootstrap('frontController');
        $frontController = $this->getResource('frontController');

        $frontController->setRouter(new ZendExt_Controller_Router());
    }
    
    ...
}

...and you're ready to go.

By the way, make changes to the router so it takes the parameters you wish to take and assign them to the proper variables.

Cheers
