Zend Framework 2, redirecting to route and passing a variable to new controller

Question

I implemented a form for placing new orders in Zend Framework 2 and after submitting the form I should redirect to another route and take the orders.id variable in another controller.

I tried using $this->redirect()->toRoute('confirm', array('param'=>$orderId)); but it is not working at all.

Maybe I do not know how to get that parameter in another confirmAction controller.

Please give me some examples. Thank you very much.

1) Since this is a routing issue, show what you have for the route in the module.config.php file. You might not have the "param" constraint configured properly in your config if I had to guess.

It should look something like this:

'confirm' => array(
    'type' => 'segment',
    'options' => array(
        'route'       => '/controller_name/confirm[/][:param][/]',
        'constraints' => array(
            'param' => '[0-9]*'
        ),

        'defaults' => array(
            '__NAMESPACE__' => 'your_namespace', // ex. Application\Controller
            'action'        => 'confirm', // or whatever action you're calling
            'controller'    => 'controller_name' // ex.
        ),
    ),
),
