Okay. I've been stuck on this issue for a few days now and I've tried so many methods to solve it, including biting the bullet and attempting to get it working in Workspaces.
In the video, Alena solves a problem of project details not being updated but instead creating a duplicate of the project with the updated details.
I have followed through with the video but the projects still do not update correctly. You can therefore imagine the length of the list of projects on my local database. The problem still isn't solved and is the same bug that Alena demonstrated.
Here's a link to my workspace snapshot https://w.trhou.se/iou1zpn8nc
I've also updated my Github Repo.
Would Alena Holligan or somebody be able to take a look as I'm getting increasingly frustrated with this bug. :) Thanks

My new code:
<?php
if (!empty($project_id)) {
echo '<input type="hidden" name="id" value="' . $project_id . '" />';
}
?>
The change that I made was adding = after 'value'. I didn't notice Alena doing this in the video, but adding it makes it work.

Treehouse Moderator 91,253 PointsIt's been less than a week and despite going back, to the start of section 4 and updating my repo I've still not found the answer.
If anyone happens to find this thread and has an answer, if they have time to look at the code in it and can post it to this thread! I'd be very grateful :)
