updating the post---- i have created a page to update post as it(the tutorial) says, but when i clicked the update post, nothing is updated, it remains just the same post as before posted. Notice...i applied the update record server behaivior and i made sure i folow every step.

deleting post---- i have also created the delete post page and applied the delete record server beh. but when i click delete it sends me to the delete.php(page whic contains the server behav. of delete record) and it does not delete the post and it does not redirect me to the page i asked it to.

NB.

The PHP code written by Dreamweaver MX 2004 is outdated and insecure. It should not be used for building a website without implementing the security checks described in the following tech note: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/300/30037473.html.

MX2004 is over 6 years old now. And while it doesn't have all the sleek new features found in current versions of DW, you can use it for dynamic site development.  However, I think you'll have better results if you use a tutorial written for your particular product.
