How to get post data variables after submition a form in magento

Question

How do I get data of post variables ? Like if I post form with post method then I can get itt with $_REQUEST or with $_POST. How I can do this in mgento ?

Answer 1

You can go through this way:

replace 'ship-note' with your custom field.

$delivery_instruction_note = Mage::app()->getRequest()->getParam('ship-note');

Answer 2

Just to mention for everyone looking into this thread..

$this->getRequest()->getParams('value_here');

is just wrong... The only available method to retrieve a special param with or without default value is without s

$this->getRequest()->getParam('param','defaultValue');

All other comments are just wrong

Answer 3

You can get all variables using $this->getRequest()->getParams();. This will return all variables. For any particular name like id you can use $this->getRequest()->getParam('id'); without the "s". Hope this will help.

Answer 4

You can read the values with

$this->getRequest()->getParam('field_name');

The code above will get you values from GET and POST. But if you want to check if something was sent specifically through POST you can get it like this.

$this->getRequest()->getPost('field_name');

You can even specify a default value.

$somevar = $this->getRequest()->getParam('some_var', 7);

this means that if $_POST['some_var'] is not set, the variable $somevar will have the value 7.

Answer 5

Return array with params post/get

Mage::app()->getRequest()->getParams();

Return value by field name

Mage::app()->getRequest()->getParam('field');
