Help with one step of outside tutorial...

[Guest kilbad]

I have been doing this tutorial at freewebmasterhelp.com.  However, while I understand the logic of the seventh tutorial page (http://www.freewebmasterhelp.com/tutorials/phpmysql/7), I am getting errors when I write up the scripts it describes.

Could someone help me... specifically, I need the full code to the couple of scripts described on that page (for Updating & Deleting database entries)?  I just cannot seem to get them right like I did pages 1-6.  ???

Regardless, thank you for your time and consideration!
