Edit a current logged in users text data in a SQL table

Hi,

I currently have a login system working with a current user that’s logged in. What I need to do is update a user’s information in the db.

EG user_ID logged in and has a proposal section in their db table. There is a form data textbox that need to insert text into that user’s text proposal section only.

Proposal Code

<h2>Proposal</h2>
				<ul>
					<form action="submisson_insert.php" method="post">
					Proposal: 
						<textarea name="content" rows="5" cols="40"></textarea>
					
						<input type="submit" value="Add Proposal" />
						</form>
	
				<br />

Insert Code

// This will echo the current logged in user <?php echo $_SESSION['firstname']; ?>

	$sql= "UPDATE users SET proposal = 'CODE entered in form' WHERE user_ID = Current logged user";


	if (!mysqli_query($con,$sql))
	{
		die('Error: ' . mysqli_error($con));
	}
		header("Location: student_content.php"); // redirect back

	mysqli_close($con);

So what’s your issue? Look for a tutorial that goes over mysql Php interaction. You know what needs to be done you are missing variables that hold the value and you are missing the rest of the database code.
