[font=Trebuchet MS]The thing is, it’s for a client, if they mess up when they enter it in, i want them to be able to edit it, so I don’t have to go in.[/font]

[font=Trebuchet MS]Any help on a simple query that will edit fields in MySQL. [/font]  
[font=Trebuchet MS][/font]  
[font=Trebuchet MS]There are about 8 fields in this table. And I want him to be able to select which entry he’d like to edit as well. If it lists all of them that’s fine too… please help. :puzzled: [/font]
