I am a newbie at RoR so thank you for your patients. I have a form with the following fields: 1. first_name 2. last_name I want to take them and make them into one variable "name" and submit that to my table field named "name". Can anyone help?

Haii
For this case.. a lot of way...
1. make name in model --> this is the best way
2. make name in controller -> this is good way
*way no 1*
in model
attr_accessor :first_name
attr_accessor :last_name
def before_save
self.name = @first_name + " " + @last_name
end
in controller
def save
user = User.new()
user.first_name = params[:first_name]
user.last_name = params[:last_name]
user.save
end
*way no 2*
For example model user, controller costumer
in controller
def save
user = User.new
user.name = params[:first_name] + " " + params[:last_name]
user.save
end
I hope it will help you..
Thank you
