Well it's pretty simple, just get the data you need from the db and put
them into some 'value' HTML attributes (for most input tags).
Like:
<?php
[sql-query]
?>
[..]
<form ..>
<input type="text" name="someformfield" value="<?php echo
$data['somedbfield']; ?>" />
[..]
</form>
[..]
About the drop downs, you'll probably have to do some loops; just post
more info if you need more help; or yep, Google may get you nice info.
