  1. POediting mysql table with html form
    text
    copied!<p>My aim is to have a simple, form based CMS so the client can log in and edit the MySQL table data via an html form. The login is working, but the edit page isn't returning the values from the MySQL table, nor am I getting any errors.</p> <p>I'm still amateur, and I first started the following code for a class project, but now plan to implement it for a live site. From what I understand I shouldn't have to declare the next/previous/etc. variables at the top, which I tried unsuccessfully to do so anyway. Does anything stand out to any of you?:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php echo "&lt;h2&gt;Edit Special Offer&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;hr&gt;"; if (isset($_COOKIE["username"])) { echo "Welcome " . $_COOKIE["username"] .
