Or have a look at my validates_date_time plugin http://svn.viney.net.nz/things/rails/plugins/validates_date_time You''d need to add an extra regex to match ddmmyyy. -Jonathan.

Thks Dan and jonathan, i look your solution. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
In fact, i just want to transform the format : ''ddmmyyyy'' in
''yyyy-mm-dd'' in php i create a fonction :
$variable = "12052006" ;
function datesql($variable)
{
$d1 = substr($variable, 4, 4);
$d2 = substr($variable, 2, 2);
$d3 = substr($variable, 0, 2);
$variable = "$d1-$d2-$d3";
return $variable;
}
it then return :
$variable = "2006-05-12" ;
Is there a command in ruby to do such things please?
thks for your help

Jonathan Viney wrote:> string = ''18052006'' > Date.new(*string.scan(/(\d{2})(\d{2})(\d{4})/).flatten.reverse.map(&:to_i)) > > -Jonathan.The situation is when i create a person, in the form the user enter his date of birth in "ddmmyyyy" format and name, adress etc... Then i call in my controler an action called "create_stagiaire" which is : def create_stagiaire @stagiaire = Stagiaire.new(params[:stagiaire]) if @stagiaire.save flash[:notice] = ''Stagiaire was successfully created.'' redirect_to :action => ''list'' else render :action => ''new'' end end By using ur code is the final code supposed to be something like that? ( the column name for the date of birth is : dob ) def create_person string = params[:dob] Ddn.new(*string.scan(/(\d{2})(\d{2})(\d{4})/).flatten.reverse.map(&:to_i)) @stagiaire = Stagiaire.new(params[:stagiaire],ddn) if @stagiaire.save flash[:notice] = ''Stagiaire was successfully created.'' redirect_to :action => ''list'' else render :action => ''new'' end end ? sorry me soo noob in ror :(. I bought the book and done several tuto, but never done such things. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
Hi Irong, I would recommend using pop menus for both year, month, and day. This would eliminate parsing of a date from a user and make their life easier as well. BTW, you''ll use the date SQL type or if you''re using migrations, you''ll use the date ruby type.
