Like this

Yii::app()->controller->id

or

Yii::app()->getController()->getId()

I prefer your answer, because your answer works any where, views, widgets, extensions, etc. E.G. in case of calling CGridView, $this refers to it's widgets and $this->id results in widget name and not controller name. – hpaknia Apr 21 '13 at 11:19

Controller Id :

$this->id

Here $this refers to controller.

And For getting action id :

$this->action->id

You're not actually required to use the static function. Whenever in a view( or template) you can use echo $this->getUniqueId(); to get the unique controller ID.
