I'm using a PostgreSQL DB, one of the things I wanted to play with is a webmail client and since I have my postfix/dovecot setup against PostgreSQL, I wanted to start off using AR against it. So far I can query the DB ok, just wasn't sure if I was doing a right/smart way. > > I'm just not sure if using a global is the right way to go about it. > > I tried a instance variable (@test.text) but that didn't seem to work. > Still getting a handle on ruby OO. > > > Will leave it to more experienced campers :) > > Cool, hopefully someone might know, and if not, no biggie, I still can wade forward using any hacks. The code I'm writing is protected by IP ACL's and when finally exposed to the inet I will be using client side SSL certs, why I'm using Apache because I already know how to set that up. All this because I have yet to find a webmail client that I like and works/looks ok on my mobiles, I guess when in doubt, code it yourself.
