Answer 1

The concept is simple, consider the following

1.It can be done if you have implement a login system. First you should have page for the user profile, like changing name, picture, etc....
2. Once they register you store the data in the db, with the user id (it can be auto increment column. 3. In you navigation have link for user page, once use click it show page you created for user profile.

4. When user login, store their user id in session, then based on their user id you can retrieve the information and show.

5. The entire page input elements has to be inside a form tag, so if user edit something and click on the update button (or any name you wish) it will update the values in the db.

Basically in the register you will have the insert coding for the user table, and in the user profile page you will have the update coding.

Hope you get the idea!!
