It depends on what you're after. If you want a POST variable, I'd use $this->_request->getPost(). If it's a request paramater, like what was passed from your router, then I'd use $this->_getParam().
There's also $this->_request->getQuery() which returns data from the $_GET array. >From what I understand, $this->_getParam() first checks the request paramters, then the $_GET array, then the $_POST array for the value. -- Hector On Fri, Aug 28, 2009 at 3:32 PM, debussy007 <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi, > > I did some tests and it seems that the methods $this->_getParam(...) and > $this->_request->getPost(...) from Zend_Controller_Action seem both to > return the correct value after a POST submit. > > So why are there two functions for this ? > Can I use getParams for POST values safely ? > > Thanks. > -- > View this message in context: > http://www.nabble.com/Getting-a-post-value-using-getParam---tp25198004p25198004.html > Sent from the Zend Framework mailing list archive at Nabble.com. > >
