If you need to access a GET parameter from a view, i think you're doing it the wrong way.

I suggest that you set up a route with all your parameters, and then use $this->url from your view to render a valid and correct url.

Edit:

If you want to be 'lazy', you can set a view parameter from your controller by doing $this->view->param = $this->_getParam('param'). You can then access param from your view by doing echo $this->param;. However, i do not recommend this.
