I’ve got a simple problem and I am wondering if it can be solved.
In my code I use Hash params name including white spaces (coming from
legacy database). They works well in my View, but I am not able to
properly use them later in my controller.
For instance, in my view I have:
It works, and checking params confirms that person[first name] it’s also
posted, but I don’t know how to use it in controller. If I try:
print params[:person][:first name]
I always receive errors regarding [:first name] ; so seems that Hash
names including white spaces are not accepted…
I cannot migrate from the legacy database because it is still populated
by an electronic PLC wich has only MS ACCESS (aargh!) or MS SQL
connectors.
The same for DB field names.
They where defined five years ago and so I must live with them.
Anyway, I will try your hint about quotes usage asap and then post the
result here.
