The easiest way to do that would be to use the Params plugin, introduced in beta5. It has utility methods to make it easy to access different types of parameters. As always, reading the tests can prove valuable to understand how something is supposed to be used.

Get a single value

To get the value of a named parameter in a controller, you will need to select the appropriate method for the type of parameter you are looking for and pass in the name.

Examples:

$this->params()->fromPost('paramname');   // From POST
$this->params()->fromQuery('paramname');  // From GET
$this->params()->fromRoute('paramname');  // From RouteMatch
$this->params()->fromHeader('paramname'); // From header
$this->params()->fromFiles('paramname');  // From file being uploaded

Default values

All of these methods also support default values that will be returned if no parameter with the given name is found.

Example:

$orderBy = $this->params()->fromQuery('orderby', 'name');

When visiting http://example.com/?orderby=birthdate, $orderBy will have the value birthdate.
When visiting http://example.com/, $orderBy will have the default value name.

Get all parameters

To get all parameters of one type, just don't pass in anything and the Params plugin will return an array of values with their names as keys.

Example:

$allGetValues = $this->params()->fromQuery(); // empty method call

When visiting http://example.com/?orderby=birthdate&filter=hasphone $allGetValues will be an array like

array(
    'orderby' => 'birthdate',
    'filter'  => 'hasphone',
);

Not using Params plugin

If you check the source code for the Params plugin, you will see that it's just a thin wrapper around other controllers to allow for more consistent parameter retrieval. If you for some reason want/need to access them directly, you can see in the source code how it's done.

Example:

$this->getRequest()->getRequest('name', 'default');
$this->getEvent()->getRouteMatch()->getParam('name', 'default');

NOTE: You could have used the superglobals $_GET, $_POST etc., but that is discouraged.

The easisest way to get a posted json string  for example  is to read the contents of  php   input  and then decode it  For example i had a simple Zend route    save-json    gt  array   type    gt   Zend Mvc Router Http Segment                options    gt  array                   route       gt    save-json                     defaults    gt  array                       controller    gt   CDB Controller Index                        action        gt   save-json                                                  and i wanted to post data to it using Angular s  http post  The post was fine but the retrive method in Zend    this- gt params  - gt fromPost  paramname       didn t get anything in this case  So my solution was  after trying all kinds of methods like   POST and the other methods stated above  to read from  php        content   file get contents  php   input    print r json decode  content      I got my json array in the end   Hope this helps

All the above methods will work fine if your content-type is  application -www-form-urlencoded   But if your content-type is  application json  then you will have to do the following    params   json decode file get contents  php   input    true   print r  params    Reason   See  7 in https   www toptal com php 10-most-common-mistakes-php-programmers-make
