it will provided the PHP that writes the SQL.

for safe keeping
4
Saved PHP-SQL code in Notepad

query to copy.

Add non-breaking space (&nbsp;) to middle
column

Add if so no Old data is showing for
“Insert” choice
26
Problem
• The radio buttons do not hold onto the
information about what choice was clicked
before.
27
The top form’s action is the same page, so it can refer to its
own $_POST array. I add some php script in the radio button
tags to check the appropriate radio button.
28
Add if structure that “remembers” which
item from the list was selected
The extra word selected in the option tag will
indicate which of the option should be showing.

and gray when Delete is the chosen action

Remembers selected person, remembers
selected action, grays out textboxes when
delete is selected action.

Show old data in textbox (as starting
point) when Update is selected action.
