I have this in my view List:

Delete all user have more than (month): \<%= text\_field\_tag("month", p, :size =\> 10 ) %\> \<%= link\_to 'Delete', :confirm =\> 'Are you sure?',:month =\> p,:action =\> "destroyMonth"%\>

and in the controller i have the method destroyMonth

def destroyMonth (month)  
now= Time.now  
puts now.months\_ago(month)  
puts now.to\_s(:db)  
@user = User.find(:all, :conditions =\> [“updated\_at \< ?”,now])  
for e in @user  
e.destroy  
end  
redirect\_to :action =\> ‘list’  
end

How can I at the parameter in the method???

Thank you!!

To access the month parameter:

params[:month]

You don’t need to add the month as an argument to the method.

def destroyMonth(month)

should be def destroyMonth

and if you are following ruby style the method should be written in  
camel\_case

def destroy\_month
