CakePHP form not posting - php

Question

I am working on a page that can update the sales agent on a specific order.
I made the list of options and a dropdown list is created.
Heres in the controller:
$order = $this->Order->read(null,$id);
$this->set("order",$order);
if ($this->request->is("post")) {
if($this->Order->save($this->request->data)) {
$this->Session->setFlash("Sales Agent Updated");
}
}
Heres the view:
echo $this->Form->create("Order");
echo $this->Form->input("OrderID");
echo $this->Form->input("UserID");
echo $this->Form->submit("Submit");
echo $this->Form->end();
When I submit the data, it appears that the data is saved, (the flash message is set).
However, when I then preset the fields with data that is already in the database, all the sudden it doesn't even post. (I put a debug after the reques->is("post) condition which doesnt show up after I submit).
$order = $this->Order->read(null,$id);
$this->set("order",$order);
if ($this->request->is("post")) {
if($this->Order->save($this->request->data)) {
$this->Session->setFlash("Sales Agent Updated");
}
}
if (!$this->request->data) {
$this->request->data = $order;
}
The input fields are correctly pre filled, but now the form doesn't even post.
Does anybody know whats wrong?
Thanks!

Update your controller code to:
$order = $this->Order->read(null,$id);
$this->set("order",$order);
if ($this->request->is('post') || $this->request->is('put')) {
if($this->Order->save($this->request->data)) {
$this->Session->setFlash("Sales Agent Updated");
}
}
Now put a debug after the reques->is('post') condition which will show what you need to show.
