Background: I took the CMS example from chapter 6 in "Build your Own Database Driven Website Using PHP&MySQL" and have attempted to modify it for use in my own database. It almost works for me LOL.
contact.php returns my dive buddies first and last name and gives me the option to either Edit or Delete them. Currently the delete option is not active.
When I choose to edit the contact, the last name and home email address fields populate with the correct information. (Once I figure out my mistake I'll be adding all the other fields that I have setup for this table so they can be edited).
I then make a change in one of the fields and click submit, both entries are deleted.
Below is the code from both contact.php and editdiver.php
I'm certain it is just a variable issue, my naming convention isn't the greatest. Sorry about that.
contact.php
