    Ok so I am doing an editprofile feature for my website but how can I do it so it fills the form with its current data.

    The current data is $row[fname] and part of the form is

    <input type="text" size="25" maxlength="255" class="input" name="fname">

    I know I need to use the value=" " tag but should I echo the whole form tag or just inside the value tag etc..

    Please show me how I should and I will +rep.
