Rails - Aug 2006 - how to access selected value in controller action

I have this in a view:

<%= start_form_tag :action => ''create_price'', :id =>
@media.id %>
	<%= select("media", "price_code_id",
PriceCode.find_all.collect {|pc|
[pc.name, pc.id ] }, { :include_blank => false }) %>
	<%= submit_tag ''Add Price Code'' %>
<%= end_form_tag %>

My question is, how would I access the selected value in the 
create_price action in the media controller?

Anyone have some insights into this? I want to be able to access the 
item that was selected from the controller and can''t figure out how to 
access it.

Appreciate any advice!

Try adding a breakpoint in your controller and dump the params variable 
so you can see how it''s coded.
