Our old website CSS was set up so that the body tag had an id of the controller name and a class of the action name, using Zend Framework 1. Now we\'re switchi

Answer 1

To get something like PostController try following ...

preg_match('/([a-z]*)@/i', $request->route()->getActionName(), $matches);
$controllerName = $matches[1];

$matches[1] includes the first group while $matches[0] includes everything matched. So also the @ which isn't desired.
