How to access route, post, get etc. parameters in Zend Framework 2

Question

How can I get various parameters related to the page request in zf2? Like post/get parameters, the route being accessed, headers sent and files uploaded.

Answer 1

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);
