I am fairly new to PHP and would REALLY appreciate some help on sample code for the following:

I would like my registered users after loging in the index page will have a link for "Update my Profile" Once clicked it takes that user to their personel information on mysql db. There they can update their information. I wasnt sure if session variables would be best?

ANY ASSISTANCE is much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Those are both topics that are complex enough that you should probably handle them separately. First you have authentication of the user and second you have a form that updates a database record. You can search these forums for "authentication" or "login" and probably get a lot of useful information about the first one. Likewise with searching about forms. Usually if you post some code or specific design ideas here you will get better help.
