Retrieving data from the MySQL database using PHP, viewing as editing

advertisements

I'm a newbie to this and wrote the code below to fetch user data from a MySQL Database and display it in a form for editing and saving. Problem is, it does not work. Any help will be appreciated.

<html>
    <head>
        <title> Delegate edit form</title>
    </head>
    <body>
        Delegate update form  <p>
            <?php
            $usernm   = "root";
            $passwd   = "";
            $host     = "localhost";
            $database = "swift";

            //$Name=$_POST['Name'];
            //$Username=$_POST['User_name'];
            //$Password=$_POST['Password'];

            mysql_connect($host,$usernm,$passwd);

            mysql_select_db($database);

            $sql    = "SELECT * FROM usermaster WHERE User_name='$Username'";
            $result = mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error());
            while ($row    = mysql_fetch_array($result))
            {

                $Name     = $row['Name'];
                $Username = $row['User_name'];
                $Password = $row['User_password'];
            }
            ?>
        <form action="Delegate_update.php" method="post">
            Name
            <input type="text" name= "Name" value= "<?php echo $row ['Name']; ?> "size=10>
            Username
            <input type="text" name= "Username" value= "<?php echo $row ['Username']; ?> "size=10>
            Password
            <input type="text" name= "Password" value= "<?php echo $row ['Password']; ?>" size=17>
            <input type="submit" name= "submit" value="Update">
        </form>
    </body>
</html>


Play around this piece of code. Focus on the concept, edit where necessary so that it can
