 This is very similar to the create action.  The only real difference is that we use `$_REQUEST['id']` to fetch the id of the person to be updated from the URL of the route.  Everything else for the new `Person` object comes from the request body as normal.
 
-Note that we're not actually creating a new `Person` object in the database, even though we have `$updatedPerson = new Person($_REQUEST['id'], $body_object->name, $body_object->age);`.  Here, `$updatedPerson` is a new PHP object that resides in the computer's temporary memory, not in the DB.  We're temporarily creating this PHP object so that we can pass it to `People::update()`, which will then use the properties of that PHP object to update an already pre-existing row in Postgres.  Once we exit from the `else if` statement, `$updatedPerson` is destroyed in memory, since it is no longer needed.
