1. Add [L] to end of current rewrites
2. Place new rewrite for Zend at bottom of .htaccess file

Done!! Worked perfectly for me. The code rewrites anything that is not a real file or directory, so all current scripts (.php) work fine. The old rewrites work fine because they are processed first. The [L] flag halts the processing when the old rewrite is trigged.

1. In LegacyController::indexACtion() via our direct call to $response->sendResponse().

2. Since we do not exit() or die() after sending the response form the action above, the framework completes the dispatch cycle and the front controller eventually sends the response body again.

It may be that earlier versions of the ZF – for example, the version that was current when this post originally was written – had different handling.

Of course, the solution for the more recent version is to either remove the call to $response->sendResponse() from the action, or to die() immediately after that call.

Still, I stand by original assessment of awesomeness. Thanks for an excellent article.

Now I just need to convince the customer that it’s worth the cost to gradually migrate over. ;-)

Thanks again for an awesome post! ;-)
