Rails - Jun 2006 - How to pass a varible from controller A to controller B

Please, can somebody tell me how to pass a variable from controller A
to controller B. I am going crazy trying to work it out but I am not
getting anywhere. This has got to be a simple thing, only my ignorance
is holding me back!

Thanks,

Paul

Easiest thing to to is put it in:
1) a session variable (eg., variable = session[:something]), or
2) an instance variable (e.g. @variable = whatever_you_want_to_pass)

Thank you! Problem solved.
