I am trying to do a very basic zipcode validation(zip is a int field
in mysql).
validates_presence_of :zip, :message => "Can''t be blank"
validates_format_of :zip, :with => /^[0-9]{5}(-[0-9]{4})?$/, :message
=> "Invalid Zipcode"
No matter whatever valid 5 digit zip I enter, this does not work, but
If I do a
''12345''.match (/^[0-9]{5}(-[0-9]{4})?$/) it works just fine!

It seems both validations fail, the message says "Can''t be blank and shold be 5 digits", when its actually both.

Nevermind, I did not put zip in attr_accessible, that''s why it was failing. Doh!!
