I have an inventory DB that I have built. You can go to it at [a href=\"http://71.197.44.48/frame.php\" target=\"_blank\"]http://71.197.44.48/frame.php[/a]
the user name is ryan the password is temp123 so you can look at it and see whats going on. You can get to where i want to edit by doing a query by school.
Here is the code where it defines the hidden variable:
<?PHP
//$db = mysql_connect('localhost','root','') or die("Couldn't connect to the database.");
mysql_select_db('inventorydb') or die("Couldn't select the database");
if ($campus != "") {
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM inventory WHERE campus = '$campus' ORDER BY bisdnumber asc");
}
else {
$result = mysql_query("select * from inventory where bisdnumber = '$numberdata' or xpressnumber = '$numberdata' or servicetag = '$numberdata'");
}
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
echo "
<center>
<TABLE BORDER=1 CELLPADDING=0 CELLSPACING=0 width=95%><tr align=center bgcolor=lightsteelblue>
<th><font face=tahoma size=2>BISD#:</font></font></th>
<th><font face=tahoma size=2>Product Type:</font></th>

<th><font face=tahoma size=2>Last Modified:</font></th>
<th><font face=tahoma size=2>Action</font></th>
</tr>
<br>
<tr align=center bgcolor=gainsboro>
<td><font face=tahoma size=2>$row[bisdnumber]</font></td>
<td><font face=tahoma size=2>$row[producttype]</font></td>
<td><font face=tahoma size=2>$row[productmodel]</font></td>
<td><font face=tahoma size=2>$row[productbrand]</font></td>
<td><font face=tahoma size=2>$row[servicetag]</font></td>

<td><font face=tahoma size=2><form action='editrecord.php'><input type='hidden' name='inventory_id' value='$inventory_id'><input type='submit' value='Edit'>
</tr>
</table>
</center> ";
}
mysql_free_result($result);
?>
and, here is the code of the edit function, which doesnt work for some reason. I want it to pull the record up in a table prefilled out with the info currently entered, but that can be changed to what it needs to be changed to:
<?PHP
$db = mysql_connect('localhost','root','') or die("Couldn't connect to the database.");
mysql_select_db('inventorydb') or die("Couldn't select the database");
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM inventory '$inventory_id'");
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
echo "
