Issue with form activating

[rodb]

I have a form that is built, I thought like the those but does not display (display an error message generated on second pass of retrieving the passed parameters). On the initial pass from calling form, variables appear correctly.  However, on the second call (pretty sure it is the form method line does not pass the variable.

<?php
  require_once('includes/load.php');
  if (!$session->isUserLoggedIn(true)) { redirect('index.php', false);}
?>

<?php
    $person = find_by_people_id((int)$_GET['id']);
       error_log("all person id = " . $person['id'] . "\n",3, "./my-errors.txt");
       error_log("all persons = " . $person . "\n",3, "./my-errors.txt");
    $all_cats = all_people_categories();
       error_log("person id = " . $person['id'] . "\n",3, "./my-errors.txt");
       
    $query = "select * from people where id = '{$person['id']}'";
    $result = mysqli_query($con, $query);
    $data = mysqli_fetch_row($result);
    error_log("lname = " . $data[1] . "\n",3, "./my-errors.txt");

if(!$person){
  $session->msg("d","Missing person id.");
  redirect('people.php');
}
?>

<?php include_once('layouts/header.php'); ?>

  <div class="row">
     <div class="col-md-12"><p class="title"><span class="red"><?php echo $person['lastname'] . ", " . $person['firstname']; ?></span></p></div>
  </div>
  <div class="row">
     <div class="col-md-12"><p class="title">Edit Person</p></div>
  </div>

 <div class="padding-top">
 <div class="box">
    <div class="row">
      <div class="col-md-6">
        <?php echo display_msg($msg); ?>
      </div>
     <form method="post" action="edit_person.php?id=<?php echo (int)$person['id']; ?>" >
      <div class="row">
        <div class="col-xs-3">
          <div class="form-group">
            <div class="input-group">
              <span class="input-group-addon">
                <i class="glyphicon glyphicon-th-large"></i>
              </span>
              <input type="text" class="form-control" name="person-lname" value="<?php echo remove_junk($person['lastname']);?>" >
              <span class="input-group-addon">Last name</span>
           </div>
          </div>
        </div>
        <div class="col-xs-3">
          <div class="form-group">
            <div class="input-group">
              <span class="input-group-addon">
                <i class="glyphicon glyphicon-th-large"></i>
              </span>
              <input type="text" class="form-control" name="person-fname" value="<?php echo remove_junk($person['firstname']);?>">
              <span class="input-group-addon">First name</span>
           </div>
          </div>
        </div>
        <div class="col-xs-3">
          <div class="form-group">
            <div class="input-group">
              <span class="input-group-addon">
                <i class="glyphicon glyphicon-th-large"></i>
              </span>
                <?php  foreach ($all_cats as $cat): ?>
                     <?php if($person['cat_id'] == $cat['id']): ?>
                    <?php echo remove_junk($cat['descrip']); endif ?>
                <?php endforeach; ?>
              <input type="text" class="form-control" name="person-cat" value="<?php echo remove_junk($cat['id']);?>">
              <span class="input-group-addon">Category</span>
           </div>
          </div>
        </div>
        </div>
        </form>
    </div>
    </div>
  </div>

<?php include_once('layouts/footer.php'); ?>

 

Can not see why the variable is missing.  The function "find_by_people_id" is below:

 

  function find_by_people_id($id){
    global $con;
    $p_id = (int)$id;
    $sql  = " SELECT * FROM people WHERE id = '{$id}'";
    $row = mysqli_query($con,$sql);
    check_query($row);
    if($result = mysqli_fetch_assoc($row)){
      return $result;
    } else {
      return null;
    }
  }

 

Thanks for any help.

You have a form with a method of "post" but are attempting to retrieve the id via $_GET....should match your form method...$_POST
