Rails - Mar 2007 - validate not working?

Hello,

My validate is not working, I don''t know why, it just stopped working?

Model:

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  validates_presence_of :nickname, :email, :password
    validates_confirmation_of :password
  validates_length_of :nickname, :password, :within => 5..40
  validates_uniqueness_of :nickname, :email
  validates_format_of :email, :with =>
/^([^@\s]+)@((?:[-a-z0-9]+\.)+[a-z]{2,})$/i
end


Controller:

def signup
  if request.post?
    user = User.new(params[:user])
    if user.save
      flash[:notice]  = "Signup successful"
      redirect_to :action => ''login''
    end
  end
end


View:

  <%= start_form_tag :action=> "signup" %>
  <%= error_messages_for ''user'' %>

  <dl>
    <dt><label for="user_login">Desired
nickname:</label></dt>
    <dd><%= text_field "user", "nickname", :size
=> 20 %></dd>

    <dt><label
for="user_login">Email:</label></dt>
    <dd><%= text_field "user", "email", :size =>
30 %></dd>

    <dt><label for="user_password">Choose
password:</label></dt>
    <dd><%= password_field "user", "password",
:size => 30 %></dd>

    <dt><label for="user_password_confirmation">Confirm
password:</label></dt>
    <dd><%= password_field "user",
"password_confirmation", :size => 30
%></dd>

    <dt></dt>
    <dd><input type="submit" value="Signup
&#187;" class="primary"
/></dd>
  </dl>

  <%= end_form_tag %>


Can anyone see anything wrong??

*Someone told me its old way to use

@user = ''something''

well, I don''t know where he got this information from, this @
didn''t get
my validate to work, seems everything you put @ beside it will be giving 
access to it from your views or else only in your controller.
