I didn´t understand it very well, but here are some tips that maybe help
you.
Dont´t build Forms inside controllers, make a separated class extending
Zend_Form to define it, then use it in the controllers. If you need to
construct it with some data, you can make a method in the Form class to do
it.
Example to ilustrate:
Form
<?php
>
> class Blog_Form_Post extends Zend_Form {
> public function init()
> {
> $this->setMethod('post');
>
> $id = $this->createElement('hidden','idPost');
> $this->addelement($id);
>
> $texto = $this->createElement('textarea','text');
> $texto->setLabel('Text:')
> ->setAttrib('size',50);
> $this->addelement($texto);
>
> $salvar = $this->createElement('submit','salvar');
> $salvar->setLabel("Salvar")
> ->setIgnore(true);
> $this->addelement($salvar);
> }
>
> public function setIdPost($id)
> {
> $this->getElement('idPost')->setValue($id);
> }
> }
>
Controler
public function editFormAction()
> {
> $post = $this->getRequest()->getPost();
> $form = new Blog_Form_Post();
> $form->setIdPostValue($post['idPost']);
>
> $this->view->form = $form;
> }
>
Now you can use it anywhere, even outside Blog module
