$this->_forward('action', 'controller', 'null', $Myarray);

is this correct and how can i access this $Myarray in my another action of same controller

Answer 1

If you were to _forward() a request to another controller/action, you would access the params you passed by calling $this->getRequest()->getParam('param'); from the controller action that was the handler for the forward.

Example:

// in IndexController testAction
$myarray = array(
    'param1' => 'value1',
    'param2' => 'value2'
);
$this->_forward('forward-test', 'Test', null, $myarray);

// In TestController forwardTestAction
$value1 = $this->getRequest()->getParam('param1', '');
$value2 = $this->getRequest()->getParam('param2', '');

If $Myarray is not an array with key-value pairs or you want to access it from a single parameter, you would want to set the 4th parameter of _forward() to something like array('myarrayparam' => $Myarray) and then receive it with $this->getRequest()->getParam('myarrayparam', array());
