Rails - Apr 2009 - problem inserting date_select values in the database

I''m trying to insert the selected values of the date_select object in
the database but I''m getting nothing

controller looks like this.
def create
    @post = Post.new(params[:post])
    if @post.save
      flash[:notice] = ''Post was successfully created.''
      redirect_to :action => ''list''
    else
      render :action => ''new''
    end
  end

this is the date_select field in my form

              <%= date_select :post, :birthdate, :order => [:month,
:day, :year], :start_year => (Date.today -
99.years).strftime(''%Y'').to_i, :end_year =>
Date.today.strftime(''%Y'').to_i  %>


Am i doing something wrong?

thanks

Not at first glance. Define nothing (date parameter is not in the
request parameters at all, object does not save at all, object does
save but the birthdate attribute is not set ...). If the browser is
not submitting the date parameters at all, a common cause is invalid
html.

It doe not insert anything into the database. I guess it''s what you 
describe as "save but the birthdate attribute is not set"

What does putting ''print params[:post].to_yaml'' just before
the
flash[:notice] show on the console?

Solved the problem. I was using attr_accessible and forgot to include 
the date_select field in it. Stupid of me.
