Director::URLParam() seems to give me wrong values...

Hello,

my url is mysite.com/category/subpage/shownote/1

Director::URLParam('Action') is giving me the value 'subpage' and
Director::URLParam('ID') is giving me the value 'shownote'

I'm expecting action to equal shownote, and ID to equal 1.

what am I doing wrong here?

Thanks!

Director::urlParam() is deprecated and doesn't work properly any more - instead you should use $this->request->param() inside your controller.

Perfect, this solved the issue for me.

e.g.

$id = $this->request->param('ID');

rather than

$id = Director::URLParam('ID');

Cheers,

In case, I want to get ID param not inside of a controller. How can I do it without Director::urlParam('ID')?

Controller::curr()->getRequest()->param('ID');
