Rails - Apr 2008 - Trouble converting string to int

Hi.  I''m trying to perform the following comparison



if (params[:bid][:points] <= session[:user][:points])

But I get the following error

"comparison of String with 0 failed"


I have tried changing the code to this



if (params[:bid][:points].to_i <= session[:user][:points])

But now I get
"too few arguments"

Can anyone see what''s wrong?  Surely this should be a pretty simple
thing?
Thanks

try a puts on params[:bid][:points] and session[:user][:points] to see 
what it gives, because I guess that one of this 2 vars is nil?!
