Re: Newbie: Modify - Delete entries

Sébastien, modify and delete submit buttons would probably be your best bet. my usual modus operandi is to send an id number (or other qualifying criteria) to the next page (often i use the very same page so as to not have to re-write the form). ex: modify: send id in an input hidden statement with your form information and use an update query -- <input type=hidden name=address_id value=$id> then on the next page $query = "update table set address_lname=$lname address_mname=$mname address_phone=$phone where address_id = '$id'"; for a delete, use the same id field to locate the unique record in the database: $query = "delete from table where address_id = '$id'"; for sort order, use ORDER BY in your select statement: $result = mysql_db_query($database,"select * from addressbook order by nom"); and $result = mysql_db_query($database,"select * from addressbook order by nom DESC"); will result in a descending sort order. good luck, Kate
