Rails - Aug 2007 - Passing variables from View to Controller

Hi!

I was wondering if somebody would be able to help me out here for a
second.  I would like to pass a variable from the view into the
controller.  An example would look like this....


<%= text_area ''business'', ''acceptinfo''
%>


How would I be able to get the controller to read what the user puts
into the text area?


Thanks!

Thank you for the response.

So, for example, it would be...

params[:business.acceptinfo]

or something like that?  I thought I tried it but I''ll give it another
shot.  I''m not in front of the box right now...but I''ll try it
later
on.


Thanks!
Mike
