Hello,

Does anyone know what the problem with the following code ???

Date.today.to_s

=> "2010-04-28"

(Date.today + 1.day).to_s

=> "2246-11-17"

(Date.today + 2.days).to_s

=> "2483-06-07"

Thanks in advance

compare

Date.today + 1
Date.today + 2
Time.now + 1.day
Time.now + 2.day

1.day

=> 86400

(Date.today + 1).to_s

=> "2010-04-29"

(Time.now + 1.day).to_s

=> "Thu Apr 29 09:32:28 +0000 2010"

1.day is in seconds, so it adds 86400 days instead of 1...

Thank you for your replies !
