Zend - Sending value in request object and accessing it on controller or View

I want to redirect to a page from a controller in zend. Before redirection I want to set some values in the request object and then I want to get these values on the controller where I have redirected.

I can do it by query string but I dont want to send these values in URL.

Please let me know:

  1. How can I set these values in request object in zend.
  2. How can I get these values after redirection.
  3. Which method should I use for redirection.

The main aim is to avoid using query sting. Let me know the solution.

Thanks in advance.

You can use Zend Flashmessenger although it is used for showing messages..you can do it for this also

Assuming you get ur post values in FooController/barAction

public function barAction(){
$flashMessenger = $this->_helper->getHelper('FlashMessenger');
$val1 = $this->_request->getPost('val1');
$val2 = $this->_request->getPost('val2');
$flashMessenger->addMessage(array('val1' => $val1 ,'val2' => $val2));
$this->_redirect('somecontroller/someaction'); 
}

Then in someaction,

public function someAction(){
$flashMessenger = $this->_helper->getHelper('FlashMessenger');
$this->view->flashmsgs = $flashMessenger->getMessages();   //This will get you the array  
}

Have you tried using this before redirect

$something = new Zend_Session_Namespace('abc');
$something->other = 123;

and then extract the data with

$something = new Zend_Session_Namespace('abc');
if (isset($something->other))
{
    $my_var = $something->other;//that is 123
}

If session is not acceptable then I can see two ways:

  1. use _forward method and execute new action in scope of current request http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/zend.controller.action.html#zend.controller.action.utilmethods

  2. use empty page that contains form with hidden elements that will be automatically submitted by javascript
