Yii framework: Controller/Action url & parameters

Question

In my application , I have ApiController with actionUsers, So in YII the path becomes api/users. Now in order to get certain users info , I use the following path api/users/id/10 where 10 is the userID and id part of the path is basically a GET parameter (api/users?id=10).

Is there any way to do the same thing without id part of the path, i.e. I want my path to look like api/users/10?

Thank you!

You're going to need to put in rule patterns in the urlManager component:

Yii Framework Documentation: url

Your config should look something like this:

array(
    ......
    'components'=>array(
        ......
        'urlManager'=>array(
            'urlFormat'=>'path',
            'rules'=>array(
                'api/users/<id>'=>'api/users',
            ),
        ),
    ),
);

You can then get the value by:

$id = Yii::app()->getRequest()->getQuery('id');

Solution 2

Try This......

$id = Yii::app()->request->getParam('id');

It's a shame that Yii doesn't do this mapping for you implicitly. For 95% of cases, /users/view/1/ should go to UserController::view($id) without you having to instruct Yii to make this connection.

can it be done like if user pass id then also it should go to the action and if not then also in the same action?
