Refresh Form to Display changes

We would need more information... try closing the session and creating a new one (or if you use cookies renew them with the new information)

i don't use sessions or cookies. when the user enters their username and password and click submit on the html form it calls a script that finds their details and displays them back in a form. also in the script is an update query that runs when they click the update button. if i click on the update button twice then i see the changes they made in the form but the database reverts back to the old details.

if there is anymore info that i can give please let me know.

Scoobie,

P.S.
i am very very new to PHP and MYSQL

I think you've placed you script in the wrong order. You have to place the 'update' before the form being display. For example:

if ($_POST("action")=="true")
{
  // do something to update your table
  // use subroutine
}
else
{
  // do something to display your form
  // use subroutine
}

Yep, and then the update will take place before the new data is outputted.

no i want to display the data on file first then allow them enter changes and redisplay the form with updated data.
