How to get the controller name, action name in Zend Framework 2

Question

I have a default module in Zend Framework 2:

namespace Application\Controller;

use Zend\Mvc\Controller\AbstractActionController;
use Zend\View\Model\ViewModel;

class IndexController extends AbstractActionController
{
    public function indexAction()
    {
        return new ViewModel();
    }
}

How can I get the name of the current controller or action name ... and pass it to the view and/or layout? Have to say that I am just starting with the ZF2 framework.

Did you take a look at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8843092/zf2-get-controller-name-into-layout-views? — DrBeza, Oct 14 '12 at 15:29

Try as below for ZF2

$this->getEvent()->getRouteMatch()->getParam('action', 'index'); 

$this->getEvent()->getRouteMatch()->getParam('controller', 'index');

Fatal error: Call to undefined method Zend\Http\PhpEnvironment\Request::getControllerName() – Robert Kuzma Oct 14 '12 at 16:08
Quite handy. Would be good to have a method to call directly, but stripos does just nicely if required. – Matthew Setter Oct 11 '13 at 19:53
I am using Zend framework 3 version. It also works in higher version along with ZF2. Thanks a lot. – Kamlesh Nov 11 '19 at 08:34

This works on my project:

$this->getHelperPluginManager()->getServiceLocator()->get('application')->getMvcEvent()->getRouteMatch()->getParam('action', 'index');

$controller = $this->getHelperPluginManager()->getServiceLocator()->get('application')->getMvcEvent()->getRouteMatch()->getParam('controller', 'index');

$controller = array_pop(explode('\\', $controller));

Get controller / action name in controller in Zend-3 framework

private function getControllerActionName()
{
    $currentController = $this->getEvent()->getRouteMatch()->getParam('controller', 'index');
    $explode_controller = explode('\\', $currentController);
    $currentController = strtolower(array_pop($explode_controller));
    $currentController = str_replace('controller', '', $currentController);
    $currentAction = strtolower($this->getEvent()->getRouteMatch()->getParam('action', 'index'));
    return array(
            'controller' => $currentController,
            'action' => $currentAction,
        );
}

It works for me. I hope, this will also help you. Thanks for asking this question :)
