Hi,  
I want to have a date range in my URL, such as /charges/  
from/:from\_year/:from\_month/:from\_day/to/:to\_year/:to\_month/:to\_day

I want to have two date selection controls on a form, and when the  
form is submitted, I would like to be taken to the appropriate URL,  
such as /charges/from/2007/01/01/to/2007/12/31

The problem is, I don’t know what options to pass date\_select in order  
to have the params generated match those shown in my route.

Any help is appreciated!
