pass parameters on a redirct

[JoeyP]

The client presses a submit button.

The path goes to a .cgi script that gathers the form params.

How can I pass those parameter onto another page?

EX.
#!/usr/bin/ruby
# *-ruby-*-
require 'cgi'
cgi = CGI.new

def redirect( new_page )
print "Location:#{new_page}\n\n"
end

all_params = cgi.params


if ( !all_params.include? 'select')
redirect('selectPage.rhtml')
else
redirect('genPage.rhtml')
end

How do I pass 'all_params' to page I'm redirecting to?

Thanks

You must save them in the user's session. Rails has this it's called the
flash, temporary storage between two pages.

I were you I would really consider ruby on rails for web programming, it's
not a steep learning curve and you solve your problems with much fewer
lines of code.

Thanks a bunch. I thought that that was what I was looking at.
