text boxes

Is there a way in PHP that I can pull info from a database and store it in a textbox on the screen? The way I am doing it right now is im pulling it to a table and then using a drop down menu to select the item I want to change. This is annoying if you want to change multiple items. If i could pull them all to text boxes which are editable and then just click submit I could make multiple corrections at the same time... much more user friendly.. thanks

So use an input box instead of a select?

Code:

---

<input type="text" name="name" value="value">

---

Unless I don't understand what you're asking?

The best way in my opinion is to have one form which displays the titles of each database entry next to a checkbox with a sumbit button at the very bottom.

Select which ones you wish to update/modify/change, when you click submit it will show a new page with the entries you selected earlier in <textarea> boxes ready for editing.
