You can access the POST data from your controller at

$this->data

As you can see from your pastes the $this->data array contains the values you posted from your form. I assume you have a Post model.

So, if you wanted to access your data, all you need to do is access the $this->data array

$this->data['Post']['id'] will hold the id of your post.

If the submission already contains the values you want to use to update your DB row all you need to do is a call to

$this->Post->save($this->data);

Thanks to everyone in advance. I am trying to load a specific field
from a table based upon a specific id # (primary key) into a text box.
Upon submissions i want to update that specific field based upon that
specific id#. What i am not understanding is how to get the data after
the post. It seems like after post it creates a new array called
[form]?? How do i access this and line up the data to save it?

Thanks again
