When I click submit, the data is submitted to the database but the URL id of the book disappears to ----book.php
I want the URL to go back to the id of the page e.g. ----book.php?id=3
Is it possible to keep the first line as action="<?php echo htmlspecialchars($_SERVER["PHP_SELF"]);?>"
and add the value="<?php echo $book_id ?>"
?
<form method="post" action="<?php echo htmlspecialchars($_SERVER["PHP_SELF"]);?>">
<input type="hidden" value="<?php echo $book_id ?>" name="book_id" />
<p>Author: <input type="text" value="<?php echo $_SESSION['author']; ?>" name="author" id="author" readonly /></p>
<p>Summary: <input type="text" name="summary" value="<?php echo $summary;?>" /></p>
<p><input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" /></p>
<input type="hidden" name="submitted" value="TRUE" />
</form>
PHP code:
if (isset($_GET['id'])) {
$book_id = $_GET['id'];
}
