Re: Newbie problem with 15 minute blog in Cake 1.3

http://yourapp/foos/bar/id:1/ will not work when Cake is expecting
http://yourapp/foos/bar/1

Cake doesn't know the name of your function variables (I don't even
think there's a way to determine that in PHP). So it wouldn't know
that the 'id' named param is supposed to be the first argument in
FoosController::bar($id, [$var2, $var3...]). If you want to use named
parameters, then you need to define a custom route and tell CakePHP to
pass the named parameters to the action and the order to pass them in.
Otherwise, you'll have to use $this->passedArgs['id'] in the action.

See the cookbook: http://book.cakephp.org/view/949/Passing-parameters-to-action
