# Update data
To update table data in PHP, you can use the following steps:
1. Create an HTML form with the necessary input fields for updating the data.
2. Submit the form to a PHP script that handles the update operation.
3. In the PHP script, connect to the database and update the desired row(s) with the new data.
4. Display a success message to the user.
Here's an example of how to update data in a MySQL database using PHP:
HTML form (update\_form.html):
```php
Update Form
Update Form
```
update.php:
```php
```
