Rails - Feb 2006 - checkbox helper question

I used scaffolding, then modified. As an after thought I added a
"boolean" checkbox to my database, form with this tag

<p>
<%= check_box ''is_hot_item'', @photo.is_hot_item %>
<label for="is_hot_item">hot item?</label><br>
</p>

I check it and save. But I don''t get 1 saved in my database field.

:(

I have just the regular old scaffolding code to save:



  def create
    @photo = Photo.new(params[:photo])
    if @photo.save
      flash[:notice] = ''Photo was successfully created.''
      redirect_to :action => ''list''
    else
      render :action => ''new''
    end
  end

  def update
    @photo = Photo.find(params[:id])
    if @photo.update_attributes(params[:photo])
      flash[:notice] = ''Photo was successfully updated.''
      redirect_to :action => ''show'', :id => @photo
    else
      render :action => ''edit''
    end
  end



ant ideas???

%>

<%= check_box ''is_hot_item'', @photo.is_hot_item %>
