login and update personal data with PHP

[mv_1]

I have created a loginpage and want to let the user change/update his own data.
Is there a template for that? I use MySql and php. Login works fine. I want to
make a page that shows all record data for the user that made the login and
make it possible for him to change the data in the record. pease help.

When the user logs in place their username in a session variable.

Create a page with a form where the user can edit their data. Place a
recordset on the page which pulls the users information from the database
using the username stored in the session variable, and use the fields from
the recordset to populate the form. Use the update server behavior when the
user submits the form to update the information in the database, again using
the username stored in the session to make sure the correct record is
updated.
