$numrows = mysql_num_rows($select);

        echo <<<EOM
                <table border='1'>

                </tr>
EOM;

while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($select))
{
        echo <<<EOM
                <tr>
                        <td>{$row['id']}</td>
                        <td>{$row['Name']}</td>
                        <td>{$row['Department']}</td>
                        <td>{$row['Problem']}</td>
                        <td>{$row['Ext_no']}</td>
                        <td>{$row['Ip_Add']}</td>
                        <td>{$row['Remark']}</td>
                        <td>{$row['Email']}</td>
                        <td>{$row['status']}</td>
                        <td><a href='edit.php'>Edit</a>  <a href='delete.php'>Delete</a></td>

                </tr>

EOM;
}

        echo <<<EOTABLE

        </table>

EOTABLE;

?>

<a href='edit.php'>Edit</a>

First you will have to tell edit.php which user you want to edit, so change this to:

<a href='edit.php?id={$row['id']}'>Edit</a>

Now you can use $_GET['id'] in your edit script to retrieve the details.

here is my edit.php code but data not updated.please correct the code..
