Can someone help me over this last roadblock…

I’m working through the tutorial above in Rails 2.0  
[http://www.netbeans.org/kb/60/ruby/model.html](http://www.netbeans.org/kb/60/ruby/model.html)

And when I make it to step: “Code Sample 5: post\_comment action”  
I can not get this to run under Rails 2.0. Errors.  
Seems to blow up on the ‘Comment.new’ line  
What is outdated or wrong about the syntax below?

def post\_comment  
@comment = Comment.new(  
“post\_id” =\> flash[:post\_id],  
“created\_at” =\> Time.now,  
“comment” =\> params[:comment][‘comment’]  
)  
if @comment.save  
flash[:notice] = ‘Comment was successfully added.’  
redirect\_to :action =\> ‘show’, :id =\> flash[:post\_id]  
end  
end

Thanks,

What are the errors? Are you getting all of the values you expect  
(nothing is nil?)
