Codes work in console, irb, but not on website

I have the following code in my controller:

if request.post?    rid = params[:route_id]    salesorders = SalesOrder.find(:all)    @sales_orders =

   for so in salesorders       if not so.latest_history.nil?         if so.latest_history.route_id == rid           @sales_orders << so         end       end    end end

If I use script/console, using the integer 2 instead of the params[:route_id], it returns 19 results into @sales_orders. When I run it on my site, I get 0 results. What's the difference? I ran debug(params) and it's showing params[:route_id] is begin set to 2.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Probably a data type mismatch. E.g. one is a string and the other is an integer/fixnum.
