populating php form from mysql

[DougieC]

What I want to do is when a user types in there user name and password to get into the page, that their editable information is displayed on the html or php page for them to change then submit it back to the database.
My question is... is this possible? And if There are any good tutorials that explain how to do this?

Thanks guys and gals

Yes this is very possible, you are doing something almost exactly like it whenever you enter a message on this board.

This is probably one of the very first things that any PHP programmer learns, since dynamic web pages aren't much of anything without a database on the back end.

Go to the tutorial section on this site or on devshed.com
