Hi ppl.

I am noob in rails and started an app to learn. I have the following
scenario:

table client with fileds: name, second_name
table phone with fields: number, client_id
table address with fields: street, number, client_id

The migrations worked ok and the fields are created.

Now i defined in the model that

for client:
has_many :phones
has_many :adresses

for phones and adresses:
belongs_to :client

I made a form to get some of these fields and add to the database:

<% form_for(:clients) do |f| %>
  <p>
    <b>Name</b>
    <%= f.text_field :name %>
  </p>
  <p>
    <b>Second Name</b>
    <%= f.text_field :second_name%>
  </p>

  <p>
    <b>Number</b>
    <%= f.text_field :number%>
  </p>

  <p>
    <%= f.submit "Add" %>
  </p>
<% end %>

And in the controller i try to save it to the DB:

@clients = Clients.new(params[:clients])
@clients.save

When i submit i get an error saying that number is not a method, it means it
didnt associate number with a cliente. It's not "joining" the tables.

Where did i made a mistake here?

Thanks guys.
