How to access selected value in controller action

Rails
1

I have this in a view:

<%= start_form_tag :action => ‘create_price’, :id => @media.id %>
<%= select(“media”, “price_code_id”, PriceCode.find_all.collect {|pc|
[pc.name, pc.id ] }, { :include_blank => false }) %>
<%= submit_tag ‘Add Price Code’ %>
<%= end_form_tag %>

My question is, how would I access the selected value in the
create_price action in the media controller?

Anyone have some insights into this? I want to be able to access the
item that was selected from the controller and can’t figure out how to
access it.

Appreciate any advice!

Try adding a breakpoint in your controller and dump the params variable
so you can see how it’s coded.
