[quote author="CroNiX" date="1330976741"]@Kamarg, you might want to check to see if isset($_POST['phone']) first, or that will cause an error if the form hasn't been submitted yet.[/quote]

You are correct. That was really just there to be an example of how to edit the data. Probably should've included a note mentioning that all the normal precautions should be taken.
