$this->getRequest()->getPost() return empty array in magento back end form submission
forms, magento, magento-1.7
Solution
Common error for all. `You just need to add form key to your form`. Just add this line below your form declaration.
<input type="hidden" name="form_key" value="<?php echo Mage::getSingleton('core/session')->getFormKey(); ?>" />
Like this
<form action="<?php echo Mage::helper("adminhtml")->getUrl("demo/adminhtml_demo/demo");?>" method="post" id="custom-payment-form" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="hidden" name="form_key" value="<?php echo Mage::getSingleton('core/session')->getFormKey(); ?>" />
Add this. Now you can get parameters by `$this->getRequest()->getPost()`.
