Trouble adding date query variable

Ruby
1

Hi,

I’m trying to build a search form with a date input field, displayed
like this:

<%= date_select(:purchase_date, params[:purchase_date]) %>

But I’m having trouble adding the criteria in my controller. So far,
I have:

            if !search[:purchase_date].blank?
                    conditions << 'purchase_date >= ?'
                    conditions << "#{search[:purchase_date]}"
            end
            find(:all, :conditions => conditions, :page => {:size

=> page_size, :current => page_num} )

But the query gets run in a weird way, below:

SELECT count(ec_orders.id) AS count_ec_orders_id FROM ec_orders
WHERE purchase_date >= ‘(3i)24(1i)2006(2i)2’)

What is the right way to get the date to be displayed normally in the
SQL query? - Dave

conditions => [“purchase_date >= ?”, search[:purchase_date].to_s(:db)]
