"new" is used to display an HTML form for entering data for a new resource. The reason it is included is because GET will return a list of resources; having the "new" parameter will allow you to do a GET request that gives you that form. "edit" is similarly for display of a form for updating an existing resource. In this case, you have an ID, so normally GET would give you that resource; adding the "edit" parameter allows you to retrieve the edit form. -- Matthew Weier O'Phinney Project Lead | matt...@zend.com Zend Framework | http://framework.zend.com/ PGP key: http://framework.zend.com/zf-matthew-pgp-key.asc
