Load Form And Edit Existing Record

All we talked so far is adding new data using PHP Database Form, how about editing existing record? For that, we have a simple method called load_form(). Simply pass record unique identifier such as primary key to load existing record onto the form. That’s it.

In this example, it passes a hard coded value, 9; but You can certainly change that value dynamically.

// ... code omitted
$dbForm -> load_form(9); // load a single record with EmployeeID equals to 9
$dbForm -> display();
