I have 2 action methods, action1 and action2. action1 is always run
before action2. Short of using the dreaded global variable, how can I
access a value developed in action1 from action2? Thanks for any
input.

If you are redirecting to action2 at the end of action1, just append the value to the end of the redirect: my_var = <some logic> redirect_to :action => ''action2'', :my_var => my_var should work.

> If you are redirecting to action2 at the end of action1, just append > the value to the end of the redirect:Thanks to both responders. I appologize for not making clear that I''m not redirecting from action1 to action2. Actually this is a checkout system where action1 redirects to a checkout handler like PayPal and then after the checkout handler does its thing, we redirect to a fulfillment handler to complete the order. The bottom line is that action1 does not "call" action2; so, I can''t pass the information in the call. That would obviously make life much easier. Thanks for the input. Am I stuck with the dreaded global variable? ... doug --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

If this "order" is in a database, then you may want to link this data that you need in action2 to the order as an attribute in the same table or in a new table the belongs_to :order (even if the need for the data is "temporary", you do need to handle concurrent users, right?). -Rob Rob Biedenharn http://agileconsultingllc.com Rob-xa9cJyRlE0mWcWVYNo9pwxS2lgjeYSpx@public.gmane.org --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
