TYPO3 Core

example data for options in controller:

$options = array(
    1 => one,
    50 => fifty,
    51 => fiftyone
);
$this->view->assign('myoptions', $options);

Same goes for TYPO3.Fluid package of course!

patch idea for getValue for TYPO3 pre 6.0, below for > 6.0 ;)

if ($this->hasArgument('value')) {
    $request = $this->controllerContext->getRequest();
    if ($request instanceof Tx_Extbase_MVC_Web_Request && $request->getMethod() === 'POST') {
        $value = t3lib_div::_POST($this->arguments['name']);
    } else {
        $value = $this->arguments['value'];
    }
}

if ($this->hasArgument('value')) {
    $request = $this->controllerContext->getRequest();
    if ($request instanceof \TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Mvc\Web\Request && $request->getMethod() === 'POST') {
        $value = \TYPO3\CMS\Core\Utility\GeneralUtility::_POST($this->arguments['name']);
    } else {
        $value = $this->arguments['value'];
    }
}

since this is merged in flow, can this be backported in this ticket?
