Answer 1

you can use this simple method:

HTML for each EDIT link add the id of the row:

<a href="edit.php?id=4">EDIT</a>

edit.php :

if(isset($_GET["id"])){
   echo "start editing the row that have id".$id;
}

Answer 2

This is one of the basic actions, which falls into the category of CRUD functions. Here are the few steps you need to know to get you started.

• Pass a unique id of the record a edit page or class.
• You may attach the id , to the edit link of each page.
• This page will use this id and fetch the record from the database
• The details will be used to fill up of a form, from which the user will update the records.
• The form will also keep the record of the id in most probably a hidden element.
• Next, when this edit form is submitted, a processing will create a UPDATE query based on the data and execute them.

Answer 3

The Jquery Editable Data Tables plugin could be the best solution you need. See code google for documentation and implementation here: http://code.google.com/p/jquery-datatables-editable/

Note: Doing basic CRUP is completely time-consuming, both in the back-end and front-end, and other people usually solved this predicament a long time ago, you just need to HUG their solutions, and customize them to your liking.

Answer 4

But always when you asked help of other tell what you have tried..

This is just rough graph:-

$data = $_REQUEST;

if((isset($data['user_ids'])) && (count($data['user_ids']) == 1)){

 $id =$data['user_ids'][0];
    $sql= "UPDATE no_service SET `Status` = '$data[status_select_update]' WHERE id = $id ";

}elseif ((isset($data['user_ids'])) && (count($data['user_ids']) > 1)) {

    $ids = implode(",",$data['user_ids']);
    $sql= "UPDATE no_service SET `Status` = '$data[status_select_update]' WHERE id IN($ids)";

}else{
}

Edit is totally based on your id.. what you are passing.. Based on that id it will updated your records in Mysql..

I hope it will help..
