title: Is it possible to forward data to another controller/action in Zend 2?
body: <p>I think a common problem is trying to forward (post) data to another page. Normally, I'd resort to sessions to pass data between pages, but this forward helper in Zend looks like it has potential. Is there any way to get information about a forward request? Like ask for the forwarder (and it'd return null normally when there's no forwarder)?</p>
  
  <p>And if there's no current implementation, is it possible? It'd be a fun project, and something I've wanted forever anyways. (I'm also currently using my own BcryptDbTableAuth class until I find a better solution).</p>
  
  <p>By the way, I'm not talking about adding request params. It should be invisible to the user. And I'm still investigating variable routes (Wildcard is supposed to do the trick but I keep getting "route cannot be matched"... will drill on that a bit more)</p>
