update post issues

I am trying to create an update to a post function, while the update does occur, the page routing and selecting of posts to be updated is whats getting screwed up. I have so many files involved in this whole mess that I didnt know where to start with what. So I went to the trouble of creating a reference page summing up each file, variable, and included file to trace where elements are going.
My website link is:
Did you know?Explore Trending and Topic pages for more stories like this.
http://royalvillicus.com/post_ads/controller_posts.php/
I have error reporting on as you will notice.
things to pay attention to:
the url - when clicking on the edit post it will try to access a post id that does not exist
saving changes - url will add a "update" to the end of it. This is meant to be a temp page thanking user for updating page then redirect to list of all posts created which is not happening. This occurs in post_update.php
The link I sent - it is suppose to hold a list of the posts created. Currently there are two in my database. Only the first one is showing.
Here is my reference page:

This may seem like a lot, atleast it does for me, hopefully this summary I created will prove helpful in what to do next.
I appreciate the help in the matter
