Take a look at the way the flash messenger helper works. It's a one
shot, pass a message to the next request system.
I've used this as a basis to create a "flashform" helper which can pass
form values from one request to another.
I use this in the same way as one would normally use flash messenger -
i.e. flash messenger can be used to pass a "failed" or "succeeded"
message to the user, but if I fail I may want to keep the (invalid) form
values to give back to the user to retry.
I do this to implement a PRG system (Post, Redirect, Get) in order to
not break the browser's "back" button:
[GET] Use Zend_Form to give the user some input fields
[POST] User changes values and submits form
if ($valid) { $flashMsg = "Succeed"; }
else { $flashMsg = "Failed"; $flashForm = $form->getRawValues(); }
redirect();
[GET] Repopulate form if $flashForm has values. Show form again + $flashMsg.
