How to check the status parameter is set and get value of status in zend view using zend framework?

Answer 1

You can set the view parameter in controller: like

$this->view->status = $this->_getParam('status');

//and in view
echo $this->status;

OR

Zend_Controller_Front::getInstance()->getRequest()->getParam('status');

For flash messages, you can use FlashMessenger helper, like:
//set up flash messenger

$flashMessenger = $this->_helper->FlashMessenger;
$flashMessenger->addMessage('some message here');
