Hi Thomas, Zend_Filter_Input has been deprecated and is no longer available - as you've noticed the current methodology is to set up filter or validator chains and pass in an element from $_POST, which of course means you need to run your isset() check to avoid the index error. Other possible options are using controller methods like Zend_Controller_Request_Http::getPost() which runs an isset() check though it's still verbose.
In the future there should be proposals for improved chaining of $_POST so there's less individual handling of $_POST elements such as this. I also hope it's configurable so I can avoid the setup almost entirely - ;). Until then however - we're all in the same boat. The new classes are a big improvement design wise, so while it's making more work it opens vastly superior solutions in the future not possible with Zend_Filter_Input. It should be a price well paid for the long term gains.

I had this in my bootstrap file (index.php) Zend::register('post', new Zend_Filter_Input($_POST), false); Zend::register('get', new Zend_Filter_Input($_GET), false); And then I used that to filter input made by the user like this… $imaId = trim($post->noTags('imaId')); This was really good because if the imaId in the form that was submitted were an unchecked checkbox I didn’t get an error… But if I know use… Zend_Loader::loadClass('Zend_Filter_Striptags'); $filterChain = new Zend_Filter(); $filterChain->addFilter(new Zend_Filter_Striptags()); $imaId= $filterChain->filter($_POST['imaId']); I get a error notice out of this…Notice: undefined index imaId …and so on… Anybody who can help how to do this without having to use…isset($_POST[“…”]) everywhere?
