title: CakePHP 1.3 - Extract URL GET parameters
body: <p>I have CakePHP 1.3.2 application working with similar URLs:</p>
  
  <pre><code>/controller/action/name1:value1/name2:value2.html
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I'm trying to extract the values after the <code>:</code> sign specified by the names before that. I can see the whole URL with no problem using <code>$this-&gt;params['url']</code>, however, I can't get the value itself using neither <code>$this-&gt;params['name1']</code>, nor <code>$this-&gt;params['url']['name1']</code>. Any tips?</p>
