when a user fills in the form and submits, but notices they have mistyped info, he or she may hit the back button and go back to the form, resubmit and fix their info..
but as all of us know, that, unknown to the user, they have just created 2 databases of the same info.
sure, process of elimination can deduce that the newer of the two is most likely the correct info. however, in an ideal world, this wouldnt happen. They would be able to hit "edit" and it would change the database they have already created. this way, they dont accidentally upload the same files again (which seems to cause issues!).
I'm sure someone else has had something similar to this come up, if not most admins, so i was wondering if anyone has made a module or something that they'd hook me up with/sell a copy of that was written for these scripts that would help with that?

Simple problem with a not so simple solution. You want people to edit their own entries without leaving all other entries open for abuse.
PHPFormgenerator is meant to be simple (capture data, submit to a db). Features beyond that are left to the use to implement.
An easier solution would be to present the collected data first with an option to "Go Back" before submitting but again features beyond the basics are left to the user.
