      $db_host = 'localhost:3036';
       $db_user = 'root';
       $db_pass = 'rootpassword';
       $db_conn = mysql_connect($db_host, $db_user, $db_pass); 
       if(! $db_conn ) {
          die('Connection failed: ' . mysql_error());
       }
    $stu_id = $_POST['stu_id'];
                $stu_address = $_POST['emp_address'];
    $db_sql = "UPDATE student ". "SET stu_address = $stu_address ". 
                   "WHERE stu_id = $stu_id" ;
       mysql_select_db('demo_db');
       $db_retval = mysql_query( $db_sql, $db_conn );
    if(! $db_retval ) {
          die('data cannot not be updated: ' . mysql_error());
       }
    echo "updated data successfully\n";   
       mysql_close($db_conn);
    ?> else
    {
    ?>
    <form method = "post" action = "<?php $_PHP_SELF ?>">
                      <table width = "400" border =" 0" cellspacing = "1" 
                         cellpadding = "2">
