if request.post? Date.new(params[:year].to_i, params[:month].to_i, params[:day].to_i) end Still throws the same invalid date error. I also tried: unless params[:eff_day].to_i.nil? Date.new(params[:year].to_i, params[:month].to_i, params[:day].to_i) end And that at least does not throw an error, but it doesn't seem to work either. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
