hello guys,  
it’s possible pass two params in a GET request to the same location in  
the  
database?

example:

two fields in view:  
text\_field: persons,: Birthday: id =\> one  
text\_field: persons,: Birthday: id =\> two

in the controller using params [: one] and params [: two]

?

thank’s.

Yes, it is possible… just look at the form helper documentation at

You can process the params hash any way you like. But what’s your use  
case like? There may be a better way…
