Editing Data in a File

For this problem, you are to cannibalize any available code and write a trio of scripts which will do the following.

The First PHP Script: editaplayer1.php

• Ask the user to select the player data that is to be edited. Use radio buttons in a table which displays the data for all of the players in order to pass the position to a second script.
• Using the "Edit It!" button, send the number of the selection to a PHP script called editaplayer2.php.

The Second PHP Script: editaplayer2.php

1. Display all of the desired player's data in a form, allowing the user to retype any or all of the data.
2. Use the "hidden" value for the type attribute of an input tag in the form to pass the position of the record in the file.
3. Using the "Store Changes" button, send the number of the selection and the player's updated data to a PHP script called editaplayer3.php.

The PHP Script: editaplayer3.php

1. Read the data in from the file.
2. Replace the record that has been edited.
3. Write the data to the file.
4. Read the data back in from the file and display it in a table.
