Hi all
I just added a new field phone to form _form.html.erb created with:
rails generate migration AddPhoneTotickets phone:string
added with rake migraiton
and the new field does not show in the browser
new
<div class="field"> <%= f.label :phone %><br /> <%= f.text_field :phone %> </div>
old
<p> <%= f.label :phone %><br /> <%= f.text_field :phone %> </p>
Did you add the form element in your view by hand? The migration alone will not create it. If you added the field to the view, ran the migration, and re-started the server, you should see the new field.

Did you ever add any phone numbers to your database?
I don't understand the code above, you say first that you have added a new field, phone, to the database but this does not appear on the form. Then you show 'new' and 'old' code where the only difference is that one uses div and the other p. Can you clarify exactly what the problem is and what is the code that is not working as you expect.
One tip, though, is to check the html of the page (View > Page Source or similar in your browser) and check that this looks correct. If it looks ok but is still not showing what you expect then copy the complete html source and paste it into the w3c html validator and check that you have not got any html errors.
