[thelist] Hi [newbie]

I need some help and information on PHP and MySQL.

I have a database which has 40 tables, 3 fields per table. (id, header, 
body).

I have managed to create an input page to add data to the database, plus

I have the data displayed on the corresponding pages.

I am really struggling trying to create an edit/update and delete posts 
page. I have looked into switch statements, if statements and others.

I am really at a loss of how to solve this problem

is there anyone who can shed some light on the subject?

May I suggest subscribing to PHP and MySQL mailing lists?

This is your second post of exactly the same thing. Several have
answered you already. If you want to edit an entry select that entry and
load it into a form. Make your edits in the form. Submit this form to a
process that performs an update.

If you want to delete an entry select that entry load it into a form.
Submit this form to a process that performs a delete query.
