Create a form for editing the record Then on the display funtion just put a link on each record to that form and pass the id of that record like <a href="editrecord.php?id=<?=$row['id']?>">edit</a> On the edit form just grab the data of the $id passed on the url and put those values on the input fields like <input type="text" name="field1" value="<?=$row['field1']?>"> Than just save the form result into the database with an UPDATE tablename SET filed1='$field1' ... WHERE id='$id'); ... Dont' forget the bit of code here are just examples and very insecure ... Need to work on the validation etc...
