Try this:

$strResult = "";
foreach ($this->request->params['named'] as $key=>$value){
    $strResult .= "/{$key}:{$value}";
}

<?php
$array = array(
    'street_name' => 'Bhubaneswar',
    'house_number' => '1247',
    'phone' => 'xxxxxxxx',
    'zip' => 'xxxxx',
);

while (current($array)) {

        echo '/'.key($array).':'.$array[key($array)];

    next($array);
}
?>

this will return

/street_name:Bhubaneswar/house_number:1247/phone:xxxxxxxx/zip:xxxxx

As a one-liner:

echo '/' . str_replace('=', ':', http_build_query($array, '', '/'));

Would output:

/street_name:Bhubaneswar/house_number:1247/phone:xxx/zip:xxx

foreach (array_expression as $key => $value){
    echo "/". $key . ":" . $value;
}

function implode_with_keys($glue, $separator, $pieces)
{
    $string = '';
    foreach ($pieces as $key => $value) {
        $string .= $glue . $key . $separator . $value;
    }
    return $string;
}

In your case you'd use it like this:

implode_with_keys('/', ':', $this->request->params['named']);

This will return the desired string /street_name:Bhubaneswar/house_number:1247/phone:xxxxxxxx/zip:xxxxx.

Try following code:

$ar = array('street_name' => 'Bhubaneswar',
    'house_number' => 1247,
    'phone' => 'xxxxxxxx',
    'zip' => 'xxxxx');
echo convert($ar);

function convert($ar)
{
    $str = '';
    foreach($ar as $i=>$k)
    {
        $str .= '/'.$i.':'.$k;
    }
    return $str;
}

Output

/street_name:Bhubaneswar/house_number:1247/phone:xxxxxxxx/zip:xxxxx

The most easy and speedy solution.

$result = '';
foreach ($this->request->params['name'] as $k => $v) {
    $result .= sprintf('/%s:%s', $k, $v);
}
