ruby on rails handling url parameters

I come from a PHP background and am having lot of trouble understanding how to handle rails handles post,get request data etc.

I have have a hyperlink that I make it go to 

http:/localhost/clients/1/?office_id=2

In my controller, I tried

def show
   @office_id=params[:office_id]
end

in my view I am just trying to display that variable

@office_id

But it does not display anything. Is my hyperlink incorrect or I am missing something else?

I apologize. In my view I was displaying it as:

- @office_id

I didn't realize the above was just evaluating it and not displaying it.

Changing it to 

= @office_id

made it work.

Your controller :

def show
  # assuming you have an Office object..
  @office = Office.find(params[:office_id])
end

Then in your view :

= @office.attribute # or if you just want to display its ID then : @office.id

Use http:/localhost/clients/1?office_id=2, without the last / in your url. As Benjamin said also, look at your log file to see if the parameter is coming through to your controller method. If it isn't, then you have something else going on.
