Before I forget to do this again I'm going to make a post on how to get the current Module, Controller, and Action while inside a View Script or Layout Script.
Here is the most correct way to do it:
PHP:
-
$front = Zend_Controller_Front::getInstance();
-
$request = $front->getRequest();
-
-
$module = $request->getModuleName();
-
$controller = $request->getControllerName();
-
$action = $request->getActionName();
Now, here is the incorrect way I attempted to do this the first time:
PHP:
-
$front = Zend_Controller_Front::getInstance();
-
$request = $front->getRequest();
-
-
$module = $request->getParam('module');
-
$controller = $request->getParam('controller');
-
$action = $request->getParam('action');
I found some odd behavior because sometimes while in the default module it would return default, but other times it would return a null. I'm not sure if this is a bug or not, but the most sure way to retrieve the desired result is using the appropriate methods of getModuleName(), etc.
Hope this helps someone out there!
