Default Date Format in Rails (Need it to be ddmmyyyy)

Question

I\'ve been working with a rails form all day and I was just randomly testing it and tried the date 25/12/2009 and it came up with a huge error.

It was at this point

You can change the date format using internationalisation (I18n)

Just add (or change) this in your config/locales/en.yml:

en:
  date:
    order:
      - :day
      - :month
      - :year
