Sometimes when using HTML GET requests there are troubles. Some troubles might be fuzzy urls, such as &x=…&y=…&submit=<value>. I googled it, and came up with a possible option that I frequently use in Zend Framework today.
Basically it is a redirect I use mostly when searching. When I search I use q as the GET variable, and this will redirect the url to ‘…/list/?q=My search&submit=send’ because Zend Framework demands a name of every element, even if submit doesn’t need a name. What is most important here is to clear out stupid looking urls, and I prefer having ‘/q/My search/’ as it is more obvious.
This is what I do and I only use Zend Framework standard library.
1 2 3 4 5 | $params = $this->getRequest()->getParams(); if(isset($params['submit'])){ unset($params['submit']); return $this->_helper->Redirector->setGotoSimple('list', null, null, $params); } |
In my case I did only have the &submit appended, and in this tiny function I unset the parameter submit and send the request once more, returning me to the same site ‘list’ but with the url ‘…/list/q/my query/’
Wonderful, and yet another saticefied customer.
