如何编辑“ PHP-MySQL返回的” HTML表并在数据库上对其进行更新

Question

I have a simple PHP code to retrieve data from MySQL database table. After this HTML table is displayed, I want to edit certain fields so that they are updated on the database.

Please tell me as to what and how to do.

Thanks.

Answer 1

Have the retrieved data go into form fields like this:

<input type='text' name='age' value='<?php echo $age; ?>'>

This way, the form is pre-filled with the listing data. Also, on the page the form goes to, have that data (which comes to it via $_POST) written back into the database.
