Rails - Jun 2006 - when deleeting a post, delete all comments too

i can''t quite figure out how to delete all of a posts comments along 
with deleting the post. ive set up comments as belonging to posts and 
posts as having many comments and...

Post.find(params[:id]).destroy

...works fine i just can''t figure out any way to delete that posts 
comments as well. comments uses the standard foreign key of post_id.

thanks.

In your post.rb file, add :dependent => :destroy....

eg:
has_many :comments, :dependent => :destroy
