    <p>I've got the sessions working to display the child information, I now want to be able to edit that information and update the database. I've tried every youtube video and website but nothing uses $_SESSION they all use $_POST. </p> <pre><code>&lt;div class="post"&gt; &lt;h1 class="title"&gt;Child Details: &lt;/h1&gt; &lt;p class="title"&gt;&lt;img src=" &lt;?php echo "".$_SESSION['sourcepath']; ?&gt;" &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class="title"&gt;&lt;?php echo "".$_SESSION['ChildID']; ?&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;table style="width: 100%"&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td style="width: 106px"&gt;Name&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td style="width: 252px"&gt;&lt;?php echo "".$_SESSION ['Firstname']; ?&gt; &lt;?php echo "".$_SESSION['Surname']; ?&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td style="width: 94px"&gt;School&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;form method="post"&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;textarea name="School" cols="20" rows="5"&gt;&lt;?php echo "".$_SESSION['School']; ?&gt;&lt;/textarea&gt;&lt;/form&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td style="width: 106px"&gt;Date of Birth&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;?php echo "".$_SESSION['DateOfBirth']; ?&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td style="width: 94px"&gt;English&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;form method="post"&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;textarea name="English" cols="20" rows="5"&gt;&lt;?php echo "".$_SESSION['English']; ?&gt;&lt;/textarea&gt;&lt;/form&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td style="width: 106px"&gt;Age&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;?php echo "".$_SESSION['Age']; ?&gt;;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td style="width: 94px"&gt;Science&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;form method="post"&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;textarea name="Science" cols="20" rows="5"&gt;&lt;?php echo "".$_SESSION['Science']; ?&gt;&lt;/textarea&gt;&lt;/form&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td style="width: 106px"&gt;Address&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;form method="post"&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;textarea name="Address" cols="20" style="height: 89px"&gt;&lt;?php echo "".$_SESSION['Address']; ?&gt;&lt;/textarea&gt;&lt;/form&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td style="width: 94px"&gt;Maths&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;form method="post"&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;textarea name="Maths" cols="20" rows="5"&gt;&lt;?php echo "".$_SESSION['Maths']; ?&gt;&lt;/textarea&gt;&lt;/form&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td style="width: 106px"&gt;Postcode:&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;?php echo "".$_SESSION['PostCode']; ?&gt;;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td style="width: 94px"&gt;Homework&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;form method="post"&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;textarea name="Homework" cols="20" rows="5"&gt;&lt;?php echo "".$_SESSION['Homework']; ?&gt;&lt;/textarea&gt;&lt;/form&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td style="width: 106px"&gt;Contact Number&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;form method="post"&gt; &lt;textarea name="ContactNumber" cols="20" rows="2"&gt;&lt;?php echo "".$_SESSION['ContactNumber']; ?&gt;&lt;/textarea&gt;&lt;/form&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td style="width: 94px"&gt;Additional&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;form method="post"&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;textarea name="Additional" cols="20" rows="8"&gt;&lt;?php echo "".$_SESSION['Additional']; ?&gt;&lt;/textarea&gt;&lt;/form&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td style="width: 106px"&gt;Mother Name&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;?php echo "".$_SESSION['MotherName']; ?&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td style="width: 94px"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td style="width: 106px"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td style="width: 94px"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td style="width: 106px"&gt;Last Update&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;?php echo "".$_SESSION['TimeStamp']; ?&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td style="width: 94px"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td style="width: 106px"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td style="width: 94px"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td style="width: 106px"&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt; &lt;form method="post" action="updatetest.php"&gt; &lt;input type="hidden" name="id" value="&lt;?php echo $_SESSION['ChildID']; ?&gt;"/&gt; &lt;input name="Submit" type="submit" value="Update" /&gt;&lt;/form&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;?php session_start(); ?&gt; &lt;?php $connect = mysql_connect("127.0.0.1" , "root" , "") or die ("Couldnt connect to database"); mysql_select_db("travellerfile") or die ("couldnt find the database"); $School = $_SESSION['School']; $Maths = $_SESSION['Maths']; $English = $_SESSION['English']; $Science = $_SESSION['Science']; $Homework = $_SESSION['Homework']; $Additional = $_SESSION['Additional']; $id = $_SESSION['ChildID']; $q = "SELECT * FROM child WHERE ChildID = $_SESSION[ChildID]"; $result = mysql_query($q); $person = mysql_fetch_array($result); $u = "UPDATE child SET Maths= '$_SESSION['Maths']', Science= '$_SESSION['Science']'; ?&gt; </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
