What you need to do is have the variables in your HTML form and then use eval() to populate those fields as the HTML is sent to the browser.

yeah you're gonna have to be all like:

<input type="text" name="thing" value="<?php echo($dbresults['thing']) ?>">

... which I mean you can automate, right, with something like:

$fields = array(
'thing01',
'thing02',
'thing03'
); /// et cetera

foreach ($fields as $field) {
?>

<input type="text" name="<?php echo($field) ?>"
value="<?php echo($dbresults[$field]) ?>">

<?php
}

... but yeah that's the dirty bizness. no magic function for it. c'est la guerre, right?
