I'm creating a custom form in Magento 2.3 admin.

Vendor/Module/view/adminhtml/layout/route_folder_index.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<page xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:View/Layout/etc/page_configuration.xsd">
    <body>
        <referenceContainer name="content">
            <block class="Vendor\Module\Block\Adminhtml\NewFunction\Edit" name="newfunction.form.container" template="newfunction.phtml"/>
        </referenceContainer>
    </body>
</page>

Vendor/Module/Block/Adminhtml/NewFunction/Edit.php

<?php
/**
 * Copyright © Magento, Inc. All rights reserved.
 * See COPYING.txt for license details.
 */

/**
 * Export edit block
 *
 * @author      Magento Core Team <[email protected]>
 */
namespace Vendor\Module\Block\Adminhtml\NewFunction;

/**
 * @api
 * @since 100.0.2
 */
class Edit extends \Magento\Backend\Block\Template
{
    public function getNewFunctionUrl()
    {
        return $this->getUrl('route/folder/newfunction');
    }

}

Vendor/Module/view/adminhtml/templates/newfunction.phtml

<form action="<?php echo $block->getNewFunctionUrl()?>" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
    <input type="text" name="hello"/>
    <input type="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>

Vendor/Module/Controller/Adminhtml/Folder/NewFunction.php

<?php

namespace Vendor\Module\Controller\Adminhtml\Folder;


class NewFunction extends \Magento\Framework\App\Action\Action
{

    public function execute()
    {

        $params = $this->getRequest()->getParams();

    }
}

The form submits perfectly but when I debug the $params variable it shows only two parameters

key
adminhtml

I was expecting the hello text as one of the parameter but didn't receive one on form submit.

Is there anything wrong with the process or code?

Your controller should extend Magento\Backend\App\Action and implements Magento\Framework\App\Action\HttpPostActionInterface, also don't forget about ACL.

So should look something like this:

namespace Vendor\Module\Controller\Adminhtml\Folder;

class NewFunction extends \Magento\Backend\App\Action implements \Magento\Framework\App\Action\HttpPostActionInterface
{
    /**
     * Authorization level of a basic admin session
     *
     * @see _isAllowed()
     */
    public const ADMIN_RESOURCE = 'Magento_Cms::save';

    public function execute()
    {
        $params = $this->getRequest()->getParams();
        //OR
        $name = $this->getRequest()->getParam('hello'); 
    }
}

Also don't forget about form_key input, your view should look like:

<form action="<?php echo $block->getNewFunctionUrl()?>" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
    <input type="hidden" name="form_key" value="<?= $block->getFormKey() ?>">
    <input type="text" name="hello"/>
    <input type="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>

  • If I use \Magento\Backend\App\Action as extends class then form submission navigates me to dashboard Sep 19, 2019 at 8:04
  • @RizwanDhuka sorry, I updated the answer. Please don't forget about form_key in .phtml

You need to try code like this one.

<?php
namespace Vendor\Module\Controller\Adminhtml\Folder;

class NewFunction extends \Magento\Backend\App\Action
{
    public function execute()
    {
        $params = $this->getRequest()->getParams();
        //OR
        $name = $this->getRequest()->getParam('hello'); 
    }
}

  • on executing this $params = $this->getRequest()->getParams(); I'm getting only two parameters as mentioned in the question and on executing this $name = $this->getRequest()->getParam('hello'); I'm getting NULL Sep 19, 2019 at 7:18
