表单操作在验证错误后丢失了帖子ID - CakePHP

Question

My edit action is working great if I don't have any validation errors.

When validation errors are found, the view is rendered again with the error messages, but the URL in the form tag's action looses the post id.

e.g.

Before validation errors:

<form class="niceInput" id="PostEditForm" method="post" action="/posts/edit/1" accept-charset="utf-8">

After validation errors:

<form class="niceInput" id="PostEditForm" method="post" action="/posts/edit" accept-charset="utf-8">

What could be causing this?

Thanks

EDIT: Added 'edit' method in posts_controller.php

    function edit($id) {
    // $id = $this->params['pass'][0];
    $this->set('title_for_layout', 'Edit post');
    $this->Post->id = $id;  
    $this->Post->user_id = $this->Session->read('Auth.User.id');

    $postUserId = $this->Post->read('user_id', $id);

    // check if user logged in owns the post
    if ($this->Auth->user('id') != $postUserId['Post']['user_id']) {
        $this->redirect('/posts/manage');
    }   

    if (empty($this->data)) {
        $this->data = $this->Post->read();
    } else {
        if ($this->Post->save($this->data)) {

            if (!empty($this->data['Post']['image_files'])){ 
                $this->_moveImages($this->data);
            }

            $this->Session->setFlash('Your post has been updated.');
            $this->redirect('/posts/manage');
        }
    }
    $this->render('add');

EDIT 2: add.ctp view

if ($this->action == 'edit') {
    echo $this->Form->create('Post', array('class' => 'niceInput', 'action' => 'edit'));
} else {
    echo $this->Form->create('Post', array('class' => 'niceInput'));
}


echo $this->Form->input('type', array(
                        'label' => 'Type of post',
                        'type' => 'select',
                        'options' => array(
                            'rent' => 'Rental',
                            'roommate' => 'Roommate',
                            'sublet' => 'Sublet'
                        )));
echo $this->Form->input('street_address', array('label' => 'Street address'));
echo $this->Form->input('city');
echo $this->Form->input('province');
echo $this->Form->input('price');
echo $this->Form->input('bedrooms');
echo $this->Form->input('bathrooms');
echo $this->Form->input('utilities', array('label' => 'Utilities Included'));
echo $this->Form->input('washer_dryer');
echo $this->Form->input('dishwasher');
echo $this->Form->input('a_c');
echo $this->Form->input('parking_spots');


echo $this->Form->hidden('image_files');
echo $this->Form->input('description');

if ($this->action == 'edit') {
    $buttonLabel = 'Save changes';
} else {
    $buttonLabel = 'Add house';
}

echo $this->Form->button($buttonLabel, array('id' => 'addButton'));
echo $this->Form->end();

You need to use the form helper and explicitly set the url the form points to.

<?php echo $form->create('Post', array('url' => $html->url(array('controller'=>'posts', 'action'=>'edit', $this->data['Post']['id'])))); ?>
