hello I'm new to RoR and i have concern regarding on how to output a string with a value that parse on it.

Example in php: $value = 1; $string = 'the value is '.$value.'.';

and it gives you the output which is: "the value is 1." so how we are going to do it in RoR. Any help would be appreciated. I know its very simple to the one who knows it. Forgive me im only a newbie. Thank you!

<% value = 1 %> The value is <%= value %>

or <% value = 1 %> The value is <%= h(value) %>

In case you don't trust the "value" of value. The h (http_escape) method will help protect you against injection attacks.

Oops! Previous post was a bad example. Assume value was taken from user input, which in that case you should escape it to make it safe.
