My question now is, I need to get the value from the field after clicking on the submit button. Here's my code:

So, let's say the user chooses TV, and the belt owner's name is Ted. I'd like it to output "Teddy" into the input box.

Mainly, I just need to select the correct belt from the table, and output who owns it so far.

I don't mean to be seeming like I'm asking how to do this whole thing, I've just been working on this for the whole day, and it's starting to get underneath my skin here.

Here's a link to a news posting script that I wrote.

NOTE: This news script cannot be used directly, there are still a few errors.

If you look at the code under the if($action == "edit") section, you will see where a form is outputted. The following is a line of code from that, the name of the variable is modified for clarity:

PHP Code:

echo "<input type=\"text\" size=\"20\" name=\"name\" value=\"".$name."\">\n"; 


Using the "value" part of the HTML input tag, you can output data into an input box. Just use some PHP code previously to get the data from the table. Then, you can allow the user to rewrite the data in the input box, and press the Submit button, you can then use more PHP code to write the new value into the MySQL database. I think this should cover it.
