Hi there!
I''m a bit of a rails newbie, and I''ve had success as long as I
followed
rails conventions and used the form helpers. But now I want to do
something a little different and I''m already stumped. I want to pass
some form data into the controller, but it''s not related to a database
model or anything like that. Here''s what I have in my view:
<%= start_form_tag :action => ''testing'' %>
<input type="text" name="foo" />
<%= submit_tag "Create" %>
<%= end_form_tag %>
I guess I''m not sure how to access the form data named "foo"
in the
controller. Is it something sort of like this:
def testing(foo)
@bar = foo
end
Thanks for the help in advanced. I''m guessing this is pretty simple,
but
I''m new to ruby, rails, and programming in general.
Dave

Here''s what belongs in your controller: def testing @bar = params[:foo] end You should change your view not to user start_form_tag...end_form_tag, it''s deprecated. Here''s how instead: <% form_tag :action=> ''testing'' do %> ... <% end %> Notice those are in <% %>, not <%= %>.
