Zend Framework: Checking if route exists from code - zend-framework

Question

in zend framework, is there anyway i can check if a route exists from code?
example
say the following routes/urls are valid (point to controller/action)
/users
/users/1 // /users?id=1
/users/page/1 /users?page=1
/users/tagged/tagname/page/1 /users?tagged=1&page=1
if the user tries to goto /users/nonexistantpage it should fail. soemthing to check if the user request the url, will it fail, but on the code level.

Answer 1

I believe you're looking for the match() method for the Zend router. See if that helps.

Answer 2

It's kinda old question, but I guess this is what you are looking for:
foreach(Zend_Controller_Front::getInstance()->getRouter()->getRoutes() as $route)
{
$route->match($uri);
}

Answer 3

For those using Zend Framework 2, this is very simple.
Let say we want to check if an URI matches against registered router and redirect the user if this is different from the current url.
$goto = 'http://www.mysite.tld/admin';
$request = $this->getRequest();
$request->setUri($goto);
if ($routeToBeMatched = $this->getServiceLocator()->get('Router')->match($request)) {
$currentRouteMatchName = $this->getEvent()->getRouteMatch()->getMatchedRouteName();
if ($routeToBeMatched->getMatchedRouteName() != $currentRouteMatchName) {
return $this->redirect()->toRoute($goto);
}
}

Answer 4

If you use rewrite router (Zend_Controller_Router_Rewrite), it has a method hasRoute($route_name)
Then if you want to check if route exists anywhere in your application you can check it like that:
Zend_Controller_Front::getInstance()->getRouter()->hasRoute("my_route");
