That's correct, the form cannot populate its own values because it knows
nothing about $_POST or $_GET. Your controller must pass that to the form.
If you're also using validation in your forms, there's a shortcut you can
use that checks if the data is valid and populates the form:
if ($form->isValid($this->_request->getPost())) {
// process form using values from $form->getValues();
} else {
// show validation errors to user
}
