Now, Let’s talk about creating change/edit profile mechanism in our System.

First of all you must create a connection file to connect with the database.

Connection.php

<?php
    $dbservername="localhost";
    $dbuser="root";
    $dbpass="";
    $dbname="your_database_name";
    $conn=mysqli_connect($dbservername,$dbuser,$dbpass,$dbname);
?>

Now, you must create Edit Profile form that contains all the fields of user

Profile_edit_form.php

<form action="Profile_update.php" method="post">
   fname: <input type="text" name="fname"><br>
 
   lname: <input type="text" name="lname"><br>
 
   email: <input type="email" name="email"><br>
   
   <input type="submit" name="edit">
   
</form>

After all data filled then all the data are passed to Profile_update.php.

In Profile_update.php, It checks whether the Id the user has matches exactly to Id that fetch from database. If it is same then it will update the new data with old data.

Profile_update.php

<?php
 
 session_start();
 include "Connection.php";
 if(isset($_POST['edit']))
 {
    $id=$_SESSION['id'];
    $fname=$_POST['fname'];
    $lname=$_POST['lname'];
    $email=$_POST['email'];
    $select= "select * from users where id='$id'";
    $sql = mysqli_query($conn,$select);
    $row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($sql);
    $res= $row['id'];
    if($res === $id)
    {
   
       $update = "update users set fname='$fname',lname='$lname',email='$email' where id='$id'";
       $sql2=mysqli_query($conn,$update);
if($sql2)
       { 
           /*Successful*/
           header('location:Dashboard.php');
       }
       else
       {
           /*sorry your profile is not update*/
           header('location:Profile_edit_form.php');
       }
    }
    else
    {
        /*sorry your id is not match*/
        header('location:Profile_edit_form.php');
    }
 }
?>
