Updating a long form

[Bede Northcote]

I am updating all of my code from v1 of RedBeanPHP to the current version.  With Gabor's advice, I have made quite a lot of progress, but am stuck on updating a bean.

I have the following save function within a class for each bean:

public function save(){
global $redbean;
global $rb_adapter;

$this->id = R::store($this->video);

return $this->id;
}

The page is either blank or retrieves a bean like this:

$video = new Video($videoId);

collects the values from the form like this:

$video->title = $_POST["title"];
$video->date_created = $_POST["date_created"];

and saves them like this:

$video->save();

If there is no bean, then save creates a new one, but does not populate any of the fields.

If it does have a $videoId then nothing updates.

Any help would be very gratefully received. 

Thank you

You must use :

$video = R::load('video', $videoId);

to create a bean. The Video class is the Model the bean will use. See https://redbeanphp.com/index.php?p=/models

Often, I use the phpdoc notation to clarify this to my IDE:

/** @var \Model\Video|OODBBean $video */

$video = R::load('video',$videoId);
