No, those are class variables. Global variable names start with different characters in Ruby. If you really want to know what, you can look it up, but I'm not going to make it easier to implement a bad idea. And global variables *are* a bad idea. In Rails, they're not even reliable for maintaining global state, because they're only global to each server instance. Just forget they exist. > >>In any case the data needs to be visible >> 'between' sessions as well. > > But this needs the data to be stored in D B it self. Is it?
