Yes, and you're refer to it on the URL as:

    /gastric-emptying/

or

    /gastric.emptying/

if your are not use your own dispather but use Zend_Controller_Dispatcher_Standard (most people do), then that name is not a valid name.

check getControllerClass in Zend_Controller_Dispatcher_Standard, you will see how standard  dispatcher format class name.

regards.

Why we need to use - or . between gastric and emptying? Please give more explanations?

Actually, I've already replied to the OP that it *IS* a valid name.
However, you can't use camelCasing on the URL, and instead need to
separate the words with either a '.' or a '-'; this is true for action
names as well.

So, GastricEmptyingController::stomachPumpAction() would be referred to
on the URL as:

    /gastric-emptying/stomach-pump

or

    /gastric.emptying/stomach.pump

In order to better match incoming requests, the router normalizes the
path elements to lowercase. If there is no separator between the words,
then they become 'gastricemptying', and the dispatcher then has no idea
that these are supposed to be two separate words and CamelCased. Adding
a word separator allows us to match on that and replace it with a space,
and then pass the result to ucwords -- giving us the CamelCasing
desired.

The conversion to lowercase is because humans are remarkably
unpredictable in how they type URLs, and could type them /ALLUPPER/CASE
or /alllower/case; to allow these to resolve regardless, we do the
normalization.

See:

    http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/zend.controller.action.html

section 7.7.5.2 has some information on it. I also added more
information on this in the Zend_Controller Basics chapter in current
SVN.
