database info in forms

[blade_in_exile]

HI all

i am just wondering if this is at all possible

i know you can get data from mysql database and display it in a table format

what i would like to know is if it is possible to show the data in a text field so i could then change the data and submit it back to the database.

thanks in advance

Yes, just write it as the value of a text input or textarea and you will be able to edit it. You will need some more serverside script to write it back to the MySQL database.

i have tried putting it in where i think is the right place but i get a prse error

echo " <tr>
<td align=\"center\">{$row['dr']}</td>
<td align=\"center\">{$row['game']}</td>
<td align=\"center\">{$row['time']}</td>
<td align=\"center\">{$row['Channel']}</td>
<td align=\"center\">{$row['home_score']}</td>
<td align=\"center\"><input type="text" name="as" size="30" value="<?php echo {$row['away_score']}; ?>" /></td>
</tr>\n";

can anyone help
the error i am getting is:
parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ',' or ':' in the "file name" on line 87

the long line is 87

any help would be greatly appriciated

You got confused, you where already inside an echo statement when suddenly you stop escaping " and issue another echo command on that line.

thanks for replying so quickly

so how do i get around this problem???

do i stop the first echo statement before the line??
