To pass POST variables to your Zend Framework application, simply submit a POST request. You can do this either by submitting a form to the URL that’s bound to the controller action, or via an AJAX request.

When working inside a controller action, you get POST variables using:

// for the whole POST array
$this->getRequest()->getPost();

// for a specific variable
$this->getRequest()->getPost('var');

Also helpful, when processing forms is to determine if a request is actually a POST operation:

if ($this->getRequest()->isPost()) {
  // process form
}
