Sorry I didn’t spot this earlier, but yes. The params[] hash is how
information is passed from the client browser to the server. It is
constructed and populated by the browser to send a request to the
server. In
Rails, requests are handled by invoking a method in a controller.
Instance
variables (e.g. @some_name) are the mechanism in Rails for passing
values
from the controller to the view (i.e., the rhtml pages) that Rails is
using
to construct the page that will supply the response to the browser’s
request.

hth,

thanks bala kishore pulicherla for helping me but when i get value of id
from controller pages by params[:id] it return the nil value. maybe
@params[] just can work in controller pages so when we put it in rhtml
pages it can’t work
