The header files in my update page were in conflict for some reason so, after trying all the solutions on the forums, it still didn't work [for me, anyhow], so I decided to just get rid of the redirect to the single entry page. However, when I do this, I still get an "Invalid entry ID" error.

I'm taking out this part here:

CODE

header("Location: blog_Update.php?id=" . $id);

In the tutorial, it said this was what would take us to the single entry page so that we could view the changes, but I don't need that bit. Anyway to take it out without getting the error?

Thanks a million in advance! =D

The reason you are getting this error is because by taking out that line, when you update a post, it goes to edit.php. However, edit.php requires an id to be set or it will show that error.

Here is how I would do it. Open up the file you use to edit an entry. Find this line and remove it.

CODE

Then find this line:

CODE

Change it to:

CODE

Find this line and remove it.

CODE

$id = htmlspecialchars(strip_tags($_POST['id']));

Add this instead:

CODE

if (!isset($_GET['id']) ||empty($_GET['id']) || !is_numeric($_GET['id'])) {
die("Invalid entry ID.");
}
else {
$id = (int)$_GET['id'];
}

And you're done. I know of a more simple way but I'm not sure in terms of its security.

Wow, thanks, I will go ahead and try it, pronto! ^__^

[UPDATE] It works fine, thanks for the script, however, I have another measly request...

I was hoping I could get it to print a small "Entry successfully edited" or something at the top? Is there any way to do this? Still, the lack of autorefreshing is helpful to me, I find it a bit superfluous, so thanks for that one once agian. ^^

[EDIT] Nevermind on that request, I fiddled with it myself. =D
