[RESOLVED] Form submit with ?id=

interface

I have a form which adds data to my table (add.php), I want the same form to be used when editing/updating table data.

add.php -> add data
add.php?id=200 -> edit data where ID is 200

The problem is, if there is NO '?id=' in the URL then the scripts to add data is called.
If there IS 'id?=' in the URL then the scripts to UPDATE data is called...

But on submitting the form (to itself -> add.php) the '?id=' gets lost and my script will automaticly use the ADD script...

Any ideas how I could fix this? (":

the id shouldn't get lost. are you looking for it in the $_GET array? post your code if need be.

Well, the script is on my laptop next to this PC, which is unable to communicate with my laptop ... 🙁 So I can't show you the script (and, it's too big to re-type 😉

I'm using

if ($_GET['id']) ...

BUT, also note that add.php will (on submit()) call itself (form action="add.php")
Then, checks if all the $_POST's are correct (through all sorts of validation), and then it will add/update to database.

So, when adding, it will 1st load add.php, then when you click on submit will load add.php again. If everything went successfull it will redirect to another page, if not, it shows add.php's form with custom errors 🙂

So when clicking on submit (while url end with ?id=) it will reload to add.php (where URL does not end in id?= anymore...) and THEN add to database.

Since the id?= is gone, the script ignores if($_GET['id'])...

FIXED 🙂

<form action="add.php"...

<form action="<?php ($_GET['id']) ? print "add.php?id=".$_GET['id']." : print "add.php"; ?>"...
