I have a controller for registering an user.
i am not able to use the instance variable @username in "Process". How
do i use them ? and also is it safe to declare usernames and passwords
as global variables.
I am pretty new to ruby on rails. any help would be great.
class RegisterController < ApplicationController
def register
@username = "User"
@password = "XXXX"
end
def process
# puts "#{@username}" - Doesnt work
end
end

In a real world deployment they could be handled by different instances of mongrel/unicorn/passenger/etc, possibly by different servers. Global variables are also a bad idea. Your choices for state are pretty much the database, cookies (or the session, but that sits on top of either cookies or the database) or, to some extent the html that you spit out Fred> > I am pretty new to ruby on rails. any help would be great. > > class RegisterController < ApplicationController > > def register > @username = "User" > @password = "XXXX" > > end > > def process > # puts "#{@username}" - Doesnt work > > end > > end > > -Ashwin-- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

I am not currently using database for my application, i am getting the data from forms, and calling a register api [ register(username,pwd,email) ]. The only reason i want the username and pwd for "process" is cause my registration page is a 2 step process. and for each step i have defined an instance method. so the first step i register the user, and second step i add some details . so in the second step i would be calling a function [ process(username,pwd,Details)] consider "details" to be a bunch of data in xml format. and i want the user to enter only details in the second page. so the second page has to be aware of the username and pwd values.
