Use a SELECT query to get the values (SELECT * FROM table) and a table that has form input fields in
the cells. The values for the form fields would be based on the array you get from the SELECT
query. The form could be something like <form action="<?=$PHP_SELF ?>"
method="post">. In the script, before the body, you would have an if statement to
check whether the submit button for the form is set; if it is set, it will run an INSERT INTO query:
if (isset ($submit)) {
$query = "INSERT INTO . . . ";
$query_result = @mysql_query ($query);
}
If the form is submitted, then the values in all the form fields (including any changes) will go
into the database. If it's not submitted, the current values will be displayed in the
tabled-embedded form. Actually, I think if the form is submitted, it will redisplay with the new
values as defaults.
Hopefully this will work, or lead you in the right direction.

I am looking for a tutorial or a already created class or file that I can
use to learn how to create a form that is populated from a database table
that can be edited in every row and column and takes only 1 SAVE button to
upload all the changes.
Thanks,
Robert
