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
<html>
