Is your if statement working?

Put an echo inside your if statement to check that it even runs through the if first.

Code:

if($_POST["submit"] == "Edit User")
{

echo "If statement is working";

}

If that doesn't display somewhere in your page then there is something wrong with your if statement.

I have a feeling that it might not be working because I don't think you can pass "Edit User", Try changing the "Edit User" in the value of the submit for your form to "EditUser"

/note to self

Careful about that!

yes, quite. sometimes using get is ok...but in my experience, 3 times out of 5, post is better to use

probably just preference i guess. i've had one instance where, no matter how hard i tried, i couldn't get GET to work.

You've never had to delete or edit some data in a database, for example?
