Form writing to HTML/PHP page

f1sk

Plan:

A login system for indivdual users with the ability to edit a form which updates their profile page (HTML or PHP) containing their user info, such as name, location, computer specs etc.

Problem:

The login system is complete and works fine, however no matter where I look I cant find information on how to make a form write to the users profile page when submitted and edit the details.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

so you want to Update the info in the db when you submit the form? if so, instead of using INSERT, use UPDATE sql statements, hope this helps

Not really, as ive never attempted anything similar to this before, I am kind of lost as to how...

Ill try to explain a little better...

I have HTML form, for arguments sake lets say:

FORM.HTML:
<form action="result.php" method="POST">
Forename: <input type="text" name="name" />
Surname: <input type="text" name="name2" />
<input type="submit" />
</form>

RESULT.PHP:
Forname: <?php echo $POST["name"]; ?>
Surname: <?php echo $POST["name2"]; ?>

(Not all code included.)

When I submit that, it takes me to result.php page with the information entered in to the form fields.

However, instead of just echoing once, when the form is submitted I want it to update another file HTML or PHP already on the server with the new information, like a user profile.

Hope this makes things more clear...

thx

Sounds like the simplest thing to do would be to store the user information in a database, and use one file to update, one file to display. Much easier than creating a seperate file for each user....
