I have some basic questions about the blog tutorial 1 What does edit($id = null) mean, is $id being reset tot null? 2 What does $this->Post->id = $id; then do, make it null too? 3 Why do we check again if the data is empty, the data validation prevents it from being empty?
Thanks in advance! http://book.cakephp.org/view/340/Editing-Posts function edit($id = null) { $this->Post->id = $id; if (empty($this->data)) { $this->data = $this->Post->read(); } else { if ($this->Post->save($this->data)) { $this->Session->setFlash('Your post has been updated.'); $this->redirect(array('action' => 'index')); } } } Check out the new CakePHP Questions site http://cakeqs.org and help others with their CakePHP related questions.
