Subject: File Uploading codes


I used the following codes found in the net to use to write a file to
upload the files. down are the codes i have used. but still i did not
able to get the correct coding. so if somebody know where i have gone
wrong pls reply.


###################### IN the View #############################3
<form action="create" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
  <p>
    <b>Name:</b><br />
    <%= text_field "person", "name" %>
  </p>

  <p>
    <b>Picture:</b><br />
    <input type="file" name="person[picture]" />
  </p>

  <p><input type="submit" name="Save" /></p>
</form>



#################The controller:##########################

class AddressbookController < ApplicationController
  def new
    # not really needed since the template doesn't rely on any data
  end

  def create
    post = Post.save(@params["person"])
    # Doesn't this mean post is a File object?
    # post.id is a bad idea in this case...

    redirect_to :action => "show", :id => post.id
  end
end



######### the model ###################

class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
  def self.save(person)
    f = File.new("pictures/#{person['name']}/picture.jpg", "wb")
    f.write params[:picture].read
    f.close
end


in the uploading it gives a error like this

undefined local variable or method `params' for Post:Class


so i did some modification as
f.write params[:picture].read
        line to
f.write (@params[:picture].read)



so the code woke properly, but still it gives a error saying

You have a nil object when you didn't expect it!
You might have expected an instance of Array.
The error occurred while evaluating nil.[]




SO IF SOMEBODY KNOW HOW TO OVER COME THIS PROBLEM PLS REPLY
