Zend framework's getRequest()->getQuery() won't bring query string on localhost

Question

I have the following code, which works fine on live site, but not on localhost.

$status = $this->getRequest()->getQuery('status');

I have a URL like this:

http://localhost:888//questions/ask?status=10

I printed the value of status, which is always nil. I am new to Zend framework and could not find a solution to this on net, looks strange to me. Any thoughts? Thanks.

[FIXED]

I had wrong RewriteRule that caused the problem. There was an unwanted '?' after index.php in RewriteRule line. It was my mistake I added this, because other frameworks like CodeIgniter user '?' in RewriteRules. The corrected RewriteRule line is:

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]

I wonder if I can choose this as accepted answer.. :-)

Answer 1

I usually use this

$status = $this->getRequest()->getParam('status');

// or
$status = $this->getRequest()->getParams();

I assume that you have a Questions Controller Ask Action.
