This works. It's kind of baroque, if not to say warped, but within a
controller method in a Zend Framework app, we go:
$session = new Zend_Session_Namespace('Schedule');
$params = (object) $this->getRequest()->getParams();
$defaultParams = array(
'language'=>'all',
'date' => date('Y-m-d')
);
foreach ($defaultParams as $name => $default) {
if (!empty($params->$name)) {
${$name} = $session->$name = $params->$name ;
} elseif ($session->$name) {
${$name} = $session->$name;
} else {
${$name} = $default;
}
}
// then $date and $language get passed to data-fetching methods in my
model
