Hi Caner,
Thanks for the input. I'm not sure that would do it as the first
instruction on the page is :
$bid = $_GET['id'] ;
thus, the page cannot even be loaded if there is no id in the uri - it
generates a number of errors.
In order to use the feature of editing, I use a search page and then set
up an href to the edit page with the id of the item to be edited.
I finally figured out to do the action="another_page.php" and with
slight modifications to the form, things finally work.
And, to delete the item (all records related to the item), I set up 2
submits - 1 to "update.php" and one to "delete.php"
Maybe it's all cumbersome and maybe it is possible to streamline the
whole process, but then it does work and I am just learning... :-)
Thanks again.
PJ
