issues with stick forms in PHP
i'm trying to make this form sticky but it's not doing. What i'm trying to do is that from a previous form, the user enters some parameters and the HTML table is generated to this page, while another form is displayed to edit the data in the table shown above it. But the values are not displaying in the form below.

Please help me

PLEASE FORGIVE MY FORMATING I TYPED ON A MOBILE. Thanks for you patience.
