Basically I want to be able to get variables from posting forms.

In PHP I would want to do something along the lines of

<form action="somepage.php" method="post">
<input type="text" name="somevar">
<input type="submit">
</form>

then on somepage.php use

The var on the last page was<?php echo $_POST["somevar"]; ?>

Only using ruby; in the article you linked I see CGI::Query that could 
probably work if I use the GET method for the form instead of the POST 
method; is there a way to use POST like shown with the php example?
