mr. big Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 I made a php form to edit articles in my MySQL database, with a $_GET passthrough of variable $id, which represents the primary key for the table.At the end of the form, after the hidden "submitted" input, I have a line[code]echo '<input type="hidden" name="id" value="' . $id . '" />[/code]The query won't perform the update without this line, and I just wondered what it does, theoretically. I was having a terrible time until I started looking for scripts and saw this somewhere.

fenway Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 Apparently, your script is using this FORM input value to figure out which database record to edit -- if you don't submit this field with the form, it won't "work".
