Ruby Model

class test < ActiveRecord::Base

def sample 
 a1 = "username"
 a2 = "value"
 
// here i need to use php funtion that will be using the ruby variable

end
end

PHP File
<?php
function sas($username , $value)
{
echo "Test PHP Program";
echo $username;
echo $value;
}
echo "OUT";
?>

Does any body has idea about Serialize in ruby so that i can store the variables and i can use stored variables and i can unserialize in PHP.

Please help me. Thanks in advance.

passing the value as command line php argument in ruby soved the problem

%x= [/usr/local/apache/php php/frist.php choclates,snacks]

and in php this can be read by

print $argv[1];
print $argv[2];
