# 🔧 BLOG EDIT AND DELETE ISSUES - COMPLETELY FIXED!

## ✅ **PROBLEM RESOLVED**

### **🔍 Issues Identified:**
1. **Missing Functions** - `saveBlogPost()` and `handleImageUpload()` functions were missing
2. **Wrong Function Call** - Admin dashboard was calling `getBlogById()` instead of `getBlogByIdAdmin()`
3. **Syntax Error** - Extra closing brace `}` in the blog post saving section
4. **Missing Closing Brace** - Blog operations section was missing a closing brace
5. **Slug Generation** - `updateBlog()` function wasn't generating slugs properly

### **🛠️ FIXES APPLIED:**

#### **1. Added Missing Functions to `blog-functions.php`:**

**✅ `saveBlogPost()` Function:**
```php
function saveBlogPost($connection, $blog_data) {
    // Validates blog data
    // Generates unique slug automatically
    // Creates excerpt from content if not provided
    // Calls createBlog() function
}
```

**✅ `handleImageUpload()` Function:**
```php
function handleImageUpload($file) {
    // Validates file type and size (max 5MB)
    // Supports JPEG, PNG, GIF, WebP
    // Creates upload directory if needed
    // Generates unique filename
    // Returns success/error status
}
```

**✅ `getBlogByIdAdmin()` Function:**
```php
function getBlogByIdAdmin($connection, $blog_id) {
    // Gets blog regardless of status (published/draft)
    // Used specifically for admin operations
}
```

#### **2. Fixed Admin Dashboard (`admin-dashboard.php`):**

**✅ Corrected Function Call:**
```php
// Changed from:
$blog = getBlogById($link, $blog_id);
// To:
$blog = getBlogByIdAdmin($link, $blog_id);
```

**✅ Fixed Syntax Errors:**
- Removed extra closing brace in blog save section
