Any time I try to use any methods of the Date class, I get errors of
''invalid date''. For example, I have this happening:
With the code Date.today, I get this error from Rails:
- - - - - - - - - -
ArgumentError in Student#show
Showing app/views/student/show.rhtml where line #10 raised:

Extracted source (around line #10):

Oh, also, if I run ''ruby script/console'' and load up the
app''s
environment, I don''t get that error. It returns today''s date
as
expected.
Any ideas? Thanks so much for your help. This one is driving me insane.
