link to another action

i am unsing zend framework. i have a view linked to a controller, home,

so:

application>controllers>HomeController.php

application>views>scripts>home>index.phtml

in the index.phtml page i have a link to an action in the same controller:

application>views>scripts>home>add.phtml

the code for the link is:

<a href="../application/controllers/home/add">add</a>

Not only does this not work but i am sure its not the best way to do this in zend framework.

please note i am using wamp

http://localhost/sites/url/public/home/add

when using:

<?php
    echo '<a href="' . $this->url(array('controller' => 'home', 'action' => 'add')) . '">Add Job</a>';  
?>

I get this error message:

Message: Invalid controller specified (sites)

this is whats in my htaccess

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -s [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -l [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^.*$ - [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^.*$ index.php [NC,L]

Use the url helper for this:

http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/zend.view.helpers.html

<a href="<?php echo $this->url(array('controller' => 'index', 
                                     'action' => 'index', 
                                     'module' => 'module1')); ?>" title="test">

UPDATE

This is how your .htaccess should like:

SetEnv ENVIRONMENT development

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -s [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -l [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^.*$ - [NC,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.(css|gif|ico|jpg|js|png|swf|txt)$
RewriteRule ^.*$ index.php [NC,L]
