The easiest way is probably just "if request.post?" Be careful though - it could be a post request without the parameters you are looking for. Might also be helpful to check if the params hash contains the keys you plan on using.
Another option is to just try it, then ask for forgiveness: begin Date.new(params[:year].to_i, params[:month].to_i, params[:day].to_i) rescue ArgumentError # could not create date from parameters end -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
