congrats now you get to run str_replace on every url parsed by your
app.
you should really just be defining these routes in the router in the
first place with dashes
Router::connect('/my-links/*', array('controller' => 'my_controller',
'action' => 'my_links'));
);
you should be using verbose linking(reverse routing) in your views
echo $html->link('my link text', array('controller' =>
'my_controller', 'action' => 'my_links'));
more information about your "links" would be helpful in solving your
problem.
