Question

I want to redirect to a page from a controller in zend. Before redirection I want to set some values in the request object and then I want to get these values on the controller where I have redirected.

I can do it by query string but I dont want to send these values in URL.

Please let me know:

1. How can I set these values in request object in zend.
2. How can I get these values after redirection.
3. Which method should I use for redirection.

The main aim is to avoid using query sting. Let me know the solution.

Thanks in advance.

If session is not acceptable then I can see two ways:

1. use _forward method and execute new action in scope of current request

2. use empty page that contains form with hidden elements that will be automatically submitted by javascript
