title: (params.[:post]) returning null values Rails 4.0
body: <p>It seems that my "create" action isn't sending the information that I am entering in my "new" view. I have a route called</p>
  
  <pre><code>localhost:3000/zips
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have a view for the new page</p>
  
  <pre><code> &lt;h1&gt;
     Zip Code Eligibility &lt;font color="green"&gt;Add Zip Code&lt;/font&gt;
  &lt;/h1&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;
     To &lt;span class="hi"&gt;ADD&lt;/span&gt; a zip code from the local delivery service, please enter the 5 digit zip code (6 in Canada) and click submit.
  &lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;%= form_for @zip do |z| %&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;&lt;%= z.label :zip %&gt; &lt;%= z.text_field :zip %&gt; |
     &lt;%= z.label :state %&gt; &lt;%= z.text_field :state %&gt; 
  &lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;&lt;%= z.submit "Add Zip Code" %&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;% end %&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This is my zips_copntroller</p>
  
  <pre><code>class ZipsController &lt; ApplicationController
  
    def index
      @zips = Zip.all
    end
  
    def show
      @zip = Zip.find(params[:id])
    end
  
    def new
      @zip = Zip.new
    end
  
    def create
      @zip = Zip.new(params[:post])
  
      if @zip.save
        redirect_to zips_path, :notice =&gt; "Zipcode was saved sucessfully"
      else
        render "new"
      end
  
    end
  
    def edit
    end
  
    def update
    end
  
    def destroy
    end
  
  end
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Now when I enter "91202' and then 'CA' I click submit...it submits and redirects to the index view</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;h1&gt;
    Pick-up/Delivery Eligibility
  &lt;/h1&gt;
  &lt;h3&gt;
  Based on U.S. Zipcode, Canadian Postal Code
  &lt;/h3&gt;
  &lt;p class="el"&gt;
    To find out if you qualify for 4over&amp;#146;s local delivery service,
    please enter your &lt;nobr&gt;U.S. 5 digit zip code, or&lt;/nobr&gt; your 
    &lt;nobr&gt;Canadian 6 character Postal Code,&lt;/nobr&gt; then click submit.
  &lt;h4&gt;Current Eligible Zip Codes&lt;/h4&gt;
  
  &lt;!-- Possible sample code for the display page when I get around to the search function --&gt;
  &lt;% @zips.each do |zip| %&gt;
   &lt;!--"link_to" creates a link...first param is what you want to "display"...the second parameter
     is what you want to link to here it's a shortcut called "zip" (which passes the entrie POST and Rails will create the page with it's contents)
   --&gt;
    &lt;p&gt;&lt;%= link_to zip.zip, zip %&gt;|&lt;%= zip.state %&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;hr /&gt;
  &lt;% end %&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;&lt;%= link_to "Add a New Zip", new_zip_path %&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But it doesn't display the zip and state I have entered ... it displays this (image attached)</p>
  
  <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/zD4TP.png" alt="No Zip added"></p>
  
  <p>Here is the dump of the log...</p>
