If you need to get the current module, controller, or action using ZendFramework, you can simply use this from within your controller:
PHP Code:
<?php
class IndexController extends Zend_Controller_Action
{
    public function indexAction()
    {
        $module = $this->getRequest()->getModuleName();
        $controller = $this->getRequest()->getControllerName();
        $action = $this->getRequest()->getActionName();
    }
}
