how to pass multiple parameters in URL using slim micro framework

Question

I've been following a tutorial on how to create a REST API using slim PHP framework. It's pretty simple and elaborate. But I've come across the problem which has led me into a whole new world. Here's my problem.. I'm creating users and each user can create a post and other users can comment or like the post here is the URL to create a comment POST->/v1/comment and i pass the "comment" as a parameter. That goes well. The Problem now is putting the comment under the particular post to which it belongs. For example, I want to do something like this

/v1/post/post_id/comment == /v1/post/4/comment(get all comments under post 4)
/v1/post/post_id/comment/comment_id == /v1/post/3/comment/12(get comment 12 from post 3)

How can i accomplish this.I've read about HATEOAS, but slim doesn't support it.Please correct me if i'm wrong.Here is a code fragment of my post which works well.

$app->post('/posts', 'authenticate', function() use ($app) {
     global $user_id;

    $db = new DbHandler();
      // 
           // check for required params
            verifyRequiredParams(array('post'));

            $response = array();
            $post = $app->request->post('post');




            // creating new post
            $post_id = $db->createPost($user_id, $post);

I don't want to pass the id's as parameters.I will appreciate any help.Thanks

i don't think you've done your research well enough.

<?php
$app = new \Slim\Slim();
$app->get('/books/:one/:two', function ($one, $two) {
    echo "The first parameter is " . $one;
    echo "The second parameter is " . $two;
});

That's a demo code gotten from http://www.slimframework.com/ which clearly illustrates passing multiple parameters to a url.I think thats what your looking for. Please take your time and go through the documentation in other to know more.Good luck
