Ruby on Rails

I have 

<%= label_tag :"Enter member code" %>

<%= text_field_tag :membercode%>

<%= button_to "Death/Retired Recovery Letter Printing", recovery_letter_rpts_path(membercode: membercode) %>

In my controller

def create

    membercode = params[:membercode]

    exist = Member.find_by_member_code(membercode)

    respond_to do |format|

      if exist.nil?

        # format.html{ redirect_to new_recovery_url, notice: 'Member not found.'} # here you just echo the result

        puts "******************************************"

        puts "This is the member code #{membercode}"  # done

        puts "******************************************"

        redirect_to(recoveries_path)

      else

        puts "This is the NO member code #{membercode}"

        redirect_to(recoveries_path)

      end

    end    

  end

all I want to do is send membercode which is accepted via text_field_tag to the create action of the controller. And there is no form to contain these fields. I want it that way because, there will be more "button_to" which want to send membercode to different controller's action.

Please help me.
