Question

in order to edit my entries i want to:

    <form id="pregunta" name="pregunta" class="form_pregunta" method="post" action="pregunta.php?id=26">
<h2>Titulo de la pregunta</h2><input name="q" id="q" class="q" value="este es mi títiulo " type="text">
<h2>Describe tu pregunta</h2>
<textarea name="texto" id="texto" style="width: 98%;">&lt;p&gt;esta es mi descripcion&lt;/p&gt;</textarea>
<h2>Etiquetas</h2>
<input name="tags" id="tags" onmouseover="mostrar_tooltip('nube_e','','0','70','')" onmouseout="ocultar_tooltip('nube_e')" value="dos,tres,una,">
<input name="responde_a" style="display: none;" id="responde_a" value="0">
<button name="pregunta" id="pregunta" type="submit">form_edit_question_button</button>
</form>

And then in file.php

i’d like to $_get['id'] and $_post['inputs']

but when i go:

if(isset($_POST['edit_pregunta'])){
     echo 'lalalalalalalalalalalalalalala';
     post_edit_pregunta();
 }

it won’t ever enter :S. is that normal or i’m missing something… i wanted not to have a hidden input with the id of the post i want to edit..

Answer 1

I’m not 100% sure, but forms don’t send their name when submitted, much less their id.

You could do the following instead:

<form id="edit_pregunta" method="post" action="file.php?id='$this->id'">
    <input type="hidden" name="edit_pregunta" value="anything">
    ... //inputs here
</form>

and your if should now enter.
