Passing Data To A Form

[Travis]

Hi guys,

I'm trying to pass data from a controller employees_controller.php,
into an update view /employees/update.ctp.

I am passing an employee_id from /employees/index by clicking a link /
employees/update/54940  (or some other id number).  This launches a
thickBox that contains a form in /employees/update.ctp.  For some
reason, I can not figure out how to get my data that corresponds to
the current employee id preloaded into the form.  Any help would be
nice.

Here's my code right now:

>From controllers/employees_controller.php

function update($employeeID)
        {
                $employee =  $this->Employee->findAllById($employeeID);
                $this->set(compact('employee'));
        }


>From /views/employees/update.ctp

<?php
        if ($employee){
          echo $form->create('Employee');
          echo $form->input('name');
          echo $form->input('ssn');
          echo $form->input('customer');
          echo $form->input('position');
          echo $form->input('location');
          echo $form->input('status');

          echo $form->input('alcohol_date');
          echo $form->input('drug_date');
          echo $form->input('status_date');
          echo $form->input('data_entry');
          echo $form->hidden('id',array('value' => $employee['employees']
['id'] ));
          echo $form->end();
        }

 ?>


Thanks in advance,

Travis
