Question

I’m sure this is very simple.We have an ajax call to a controller. The call passes in a value pair – an identifier AND a value. I need to know the name of the identifier as well as the value so that I can do this:

      switch ($identifier) {
    case 'country':
        //set value for something
        break;
    case 'region':
        //set value for something else
        break;
}

I would prefer not to pass an additional value in because it’s not necessary.

I tried this and, apart from being disgusting convoluted code, it didn’t work!

      $requestparams=$this->_request->getParams();
      list($controller,$action,$module,$levelpair)=$requestparams;
      list ($level,$id)=$levelpair;

Try this:

  $requestparams=$this->_request->getParams();
  foreach($requestparams as $key => $value) {
    switch ($key) {
    case 'country':
        //set value for something
        break;
    case 'region':
        //set value for something else
        break;
    }
  }
