I am following a new tutorial just added to the upcoming book,
Advanced Rails Recipes. The recipe is, "Process Recurring Credit Card
Payments". The tutorial is great and I recommend picking up the PDF
book.
Simply put, there is a card server, and a then your main application
which is used to pass credit card numbers to the server.
The problem I am having, is how do I get the parameters from the form
into the controller without storing them in the model? It would be
easy if I was storing the credit card number and expiration date in
the user model, but I am not for security, so I cannot call
@user.credit_card number. I guess I need something like
page["input_credit_card].value?
if @user.save
self.current_user = @user
cc = CreditCard.create(:first_name => @user.first_name,
:last_name => @user.last_name,
:number => #pick up from the form,
:month => #pick up from the form,
:year => #pick up from the form,
:brand => #pickup from the form
)

If you just want a CreditCard instance but do not want to persist it
to the database you can use:-
CreditCard.new(:first_name => @user.first_name,
:last_name => @user.last_name,
:number => #pick up from the form,
:month => #pick up from the form,
:year => #pick up from the form,
:brand => #pickup from the form )
Is that what you are asking or do you want to know how to pull the
values out of the params hash?

If I could get the values without persist to the database, that would be perfect. how can I do that?

You can just use the id of the tag to retrieve the value from the params hash, e.g. Assuming you have something like this in your view:- <%= text_field_tag ''number'' %> You should be able to access it in your controller using:- :number => params[''number''] Is that what you were after?
