Rails - Sep 2009 - how to add multiple weekdays into one field

newbee question:

I have a form, where I want to add a choice of weekdays a movie is
playing into one field:

<%= select_tag ''days[]'',
options_for_select([["monday", "2"],
["tuesday", "3"], ["wednesday", "4"],
["thursday", "5"], ["friday",
"6"], ["saturday", "7"], ["sunday",
"1"]]),:multiple => true %>

how can I save days.join(",") into @movie.weekdays when I create a new
movie record?

  def create
    @movie = Movie.new(params[:movie])
    respond_to do |format|
      if @movie.save
        flash[:notice] = ''Movie was successfully created.''
        format.html { redirect_to(movies_path) }
      else
        format.html { render :action => "new" }
      end
    end
  end

I''d use merge right about here:

params[:movie].merge( :days => days.join('','') )
