# This code just takes multiparamter inputs from a form and strings them together to | |
# create dash separated date string. The purpose behind this is because sometimes if | |
# a user doesn't fill in all the date drop downs in a form, you might get an invalid date | |
# The folowing code was repurposed from ActiveRecord::Base from a few of the mutliparamter | |
# assignment methods | |
