Hi,
I would like Phalcon to pass parameters in the URL as GET values, e.g:
https://localhost/www/phalconproject/tests/index/name/dew/id/28
would trigger the indexAction funciton in the TestsController.php, and pass: name => dew id => 29
as get values. Is this possible?
I am migrating to Phalcon from Yii, where this was standard, which is why I need it. I tried figuring it out with the Routers documentation, but could'nt figure it out.
Thanks for your help! Alex
Hi Alex,
You can access those values in the controller in two ways:
Using the default way: https://localhost/www/phalconproject/tests/index/dew/28
public function indexAction($name, $id)
{
echo $name;
echo $id;
}Using the request parameter : https://localhost/www/phalconproject/tests/?name=dew&id=29
public function indexAction()
{
//Make sure to apply filters accordingly
$name = $this->request->getQuery("name");
$id = $this->request->getQuery("id");
}More info here: https://docs.phalcon.io/en/latest/reference/controllers.html#
Thanks Dan!
That would indeed work, but the problem with solution 1 is, that you have to pass the params in the precise order. The clients that consume the API, do not neccesarily put these in the same orders.
Solution 2 would tackle that, but then all those clients consuming the API would need to be rewritten, they would have to use instead of:
/id/28/name/dew/pass/12345/confirm/12345
?id=28&name=dew&pass=12345&confirm=12345
...which is why I am looking for a way to have Phalcon deal with this...to not have to force all those client changes. I appreciate your help though, hope that there is an easy 'hack' / workaround to accomplish this.
Wait, I found the solution, thanks to the link Dan provided:
public function showAction()
{
$year = $this->dispatcher->getParam('year');
$postTitle = $this->dispatcher->getParam('postTitle');
}So using the dispatcher allows you to capture the values. I am marking his answer as the accepted one, as he pointed me to the solution.
Actually I cheered too early.
It looks like one needs to hack into the Phalcon\Mvc\Dispatcher exactly how it is described here: https://docs.pir.kr/reference/dispatching.html#preparing-parameters
As I am a total newbie, where does this code go? In my custom BaseController that extends Phalcon\Mvc\Controller?
Thanks for anyone's help. Alex
These configuration must be placed when the dispatcher is set up, for example here:
