Hi I am trying to design the code for this particular page and i need to retrieve information that is held in a database and i will be searching the database for information in a table where the ID is equal to a query string and then i want to populate some text field on the page with that information. after that the user can edit what iinformation they want to and then click submit to change that users data within the database, but i am not sure how to go about this as i will be editing information that already exists within the database, can someone please help me? thanks
