Variable action name zend

Question

I'm trying to make a password reset link and I want to know if I can make an action with the name of the token. So I will access the link like this site.com/auth/resetpassword/token.

I can't find anything documented on the internet.

I'm generating my token like this:

$lengthSalt = 24;
$token = substr(str_shuffle("0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"), 0, $lengthSalt);

You need to define proper route

Example for Zend 1.10: http://framework.zend.com/manual/1.10/en/zend.controller.router.html

$router = $ctrl->getRouter(); // returns a rewrite router by default
$router->addRoute(
    'resetpass',
    new Zend_Controller_Router_Route('auth/resetpassword/:token',
                                     array('controller' => 'auth',
                                           'action' => 'resetpassword'))
);

This depends on the way you define your routes, there are more than one way to do it.

EDIT: If you want to work with default routes, you'll need to use this pattern: www.yoursite.com/controller/action/var1/value1/var2/value2.

So for you, it would be site.com/auth/resetpassword/token/[token], where in place of [token] you put your token value.

Then, you can acces your variable in controller:

$token = $this->getRequest()->getParam('token');
