how to use time correctly ?

Asked by jujudellago in Ruby Scripting Language

Tags: ruby, ruby on rails v2.0.2

I am trying to make a simple usage of time fields in a rails 2 application.

my table is very easy, name, synopsis, date, start and end time.

I first designed a table with a start and end date in "datetime" format, but it was too problematic, as for some cases I needed to have an "open end" event.

I am using the default rails form helper "time_select" for start/end time, it displays correctly the 2 drop down menus, but when the event is saved,the time becomes a full date, saving "18:00" gives a date : 09:18

so the day becomes the hours, the hours becomes the minutes, minutes becomes seconds...

I did not define a specific date format in my environment, can't figure out what's wrong with my ruby :(
