I need to create a loca form, do some checking and comparing in the  
controller action and then commit to the database. What methods do I  
need to make a local form that would save all it’s data to an instance  
variable that does not get saved to the database?  
Also, all the variables at the exit of the view, after the  
request.post are saved in a params?
