Title
Body
When I use <%= f.datetime_select :somedate %> in a form, it generates HTML like: <select id="some_date_1i" name="somedate1(1i)"> #year <select id="some_date_2i" name="somedate1(2i)"> #month <select id="some_date_3i" name="somedate1(3i)"> #day <select id="some_date_4i" name="somedate1(4i)"> #hour <select id="some_date_5i" name="somedate1(5i)"> #minute When that form is submitted, the somedate1(<n>i) values are received: {"date1(1i)"=>"2011", "date1(2i)"=>"2", "date1(3i)"=>"21", "date1(4i)"=>"19", "date1(5i)"=>"25"} How can I convert that into a DateTime object? I could write my own method to do this, but since Rails already is able to do the conversion, I was wondering if I could call that Rails method to do it for me? I don't know where to look for that method. I'm ultimately trying to solve " How to handle date/times in POST parameters? " and this question is the first step in trying to find a solution to that other problem.
