Hi,

Still yesterday my aplication was working fine. Today i got problem  
in veriable scope…

Acually there is a ‘if’ condintion  
Mistakenly i created one object inside and i was accessing that object  
outside of that if condition.

For example,

```
if user
 role=Role.new
 role.name='john'
 role.save
end

```

After that i try to access that role

```
 role_id=role.id

```

Is it correct?

My friend also got same kind of problem recently…

Or am i doing wrong?.But today only i got problem…Thats why I got  
confusion…Or any silly things i am doing??? Or any automatic update  
in my server? (So ruby version may be changed…)
