Well the problem here is that submitting the form results in

/search/process?q=text

if I then want to use the view helper Url, to create a query url for me to
use in a hyperlink, it will generate something like

/search/process/q/text

spot the difference?

Here a more detailed explanation why this is a problem.

I generate a zend_form with no absolute action uri, and method get

1) submit form → uri is now /search/process?q=text
2) click on a link built from the url helper → leads to
/search/process/q/different
3) submit form again, note that action is now /search/process/q/text → lead
to /search/process/q/different?q=other

I hope it is more clear now?

As a workaround, I use the native http_build_query now. If the url helper
doesn't perform any
http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/zend.uri.html#zend.uri.validation.allowunwise
sanity checks , then there is no reason to avoid http_build_query (which
seems the case to me).

Thanks for your answer!
