Hello Yii Experts!
I was working on the example creating a custom URL class - http://www.yiiframew…rl-rule-classes
Which is pretty much exactly what I’m trying to do with an Automotive application. So it’s almost pre-written for me 
The one problem I’m running into is adding the path’ed variables into the query string ($_GET)
The comments in the code allude to all I need to do is set the value. Here is the method in the example
From the example
public function parseUrl($manager,$request,$pathInfo,$rawPathInfo)
{
if (preg_match('%^(\w+)(/(\w+))?$%', $pathInfo, $matches))
{
// check $matches[1] and $matches[3] to see
// if they match a manufacturer and a model in the database
// If so, set $_GET['manufacturer'] and/or $_GET['model']
// and return 'car/index'
} return false; // this rule does not apply
}
I have tried the obvious and simple prior to returning a valid URL
$_GET[‘make’] = ‘TESTING MAKE PARAMETER’;
But in the controller I don’t see anything in the ‘make’ of the _GET.
Anything special I need to do to make it part of the $_GET so in the controller I can use those variable? My controller has no named parameters, I’m just trying to pick them up by looking at $_GET[‘make’].
My sample method
public function parseUrl($manager,$request,$pathInfo,$rawPathInfo)
{
if (preg_match('%^(\w+)(/(\w+))?$%', $pathInfo, $matches)) // /make/model
{
// check $matches[1] and $matches[3] to see
// if they match a manufacturer and a model in the database
// If so, set $_GET['manufacturer'] and/or $_GET['model']
// and return 'car/index'
// check if matches are DEFINED!
// match for offset 1 is MAKE
// match for offset 3 is Model
if(isset($matches[1]))
{
if($matches[1] == 'ford')
{
if(isset($matches[3]))
if($matches[3] == 'fiesta')
{
$_GET['model'] = $matches[3];
return '/'; // match make model
}
else
return false; // make ok, model fail, bad url
$_GET['make'] = 'TESTING MAKE PARAMETER'; // $matches[1];
return '/'; // matched model only
}
}
}
return false; // this rule does not apply
}
Thanks
