deansatch Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 You can add a column to your table and add a link like <a href="edit.php?id=$id>Edit</a> Obviously, you need to fetch the id of each entry from your db. On the edit.php page, create a form, much like the one you use to add the entries in the first place but in each input field echo the value="" as your variables. You should be able to use the same php code you used in your display of results page, only without the while statment. Then have your form go to your update mysql script.

rameshfaj Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 You need to write query for updating into the database. When the user selects on some of the displayed entry,u can link to a form and display the corresponding entry,then allow the editing via some HTML forms.
