Rails - Jun 2006 - Format Values from a date_select

Hi

I have two date select options in a form, when I try and grab these 
values using somthing like

@pMax = params[:max]

I get this in the varibale name

max(1i)2006max(2i)6max(3i)5

which has the correct data, jsut with added things like max(1i)

Whats the best way of grabbbing this data into a variable without the 
extra titles?

Scott

Since it appears that the date is not destined for a (DB-backed) model
attribute of type Date, but for a plain instance variable, use select_date
instead, with its prefix option set to ''max''. Then in your
controller:

   m = params[:max]
   @pMax = Date.new(m[:year], m[:month], m[:day])
