{
$data['users']=array();
$this->User->setUserID($this->input->post('userid'));
$data['users']=$userDAO->retrieveUser( $this->User,$this);
$this->load->view('Edit_form',$data);
}

{
$this->User->setUserName($this->input->post('username'));
$this->User->setUserFName($this->input->post('firstname'));
$this->User->setUserLName($this->input->post('lastname'));
$this->User->setUserTitle($this->input->post('title'));
$this->User->setUserEmail($this->input->post('email'));
$this->User->setUserPassword($this->input->post('password'));
$this->User->setUserAddress($this->input->post('address'));
$this->User->setUserCity($this->input->post('city'));
$this->User->setUserPhoneNo($this->input->post('phoneno'));
$this->User->setUserCellPhoneNo($this->input->post('cellphoneno'));
$this->User->setUserID($this->input->post('userid'));
$resUpdate=$userServices->updateUserAccount($this->User,$this);
if( $resUpdate){
