Add symbol in collection_select helper

Rails
1

hi,
i have a collection_select helper wich i retrieve a select multiple with
the names of my reports:

<%= f.collection_select :report_ids, @reports, :id, :name, {}, {
:multiple => true, :size => 10 } %>

but now i want to add the “surname” field to the list selectable.
i have tryed:

<%= f.collection_select :report_ids, @reports, :id, “#{:name}
#{:surname}” , {}, { :multiple => true, :size => 10 } %>

but i obtain an error.
what is the correct sintax?

thanks

#{r.surname}”, r.id] } , {}, :multiple => true, :size => 10 %>
