Passing data from view to controller (Zend)

Question

I basically need to be able to pass through a $q that is a variable of a search form to a controller, which then calls an api and does a search with that $q..(it can be a an ID,ISBN or a title of the book).

http://pastebin.com/zMZxnJ81 this is my view

http://pastebin.com/JQ3HmFA9 this is my controller

I cannot pass the data from the view to the controller, I get the "last condition" message of the if statement.

Form method attribute can be set to "get" or "post". "request" which is the one you set, is not a valid value for method attribute.

You can have a look at your php.ini for $_REQUEST super global array settings like request_order setting.

Also it's a better way to use Zend request object functions such as

$this->_request->getParams()
$this->_request->getParam($key)

Or, directly, in the controller, $this->_getAllParams() or $this->_getParam('q', 'some default value'), which work the same way as the above answer.

Have you tried with $this->getRequest()->getParam('q') instead of using $_REQUEST?
