Insert/Update/Delete functions

Author : atdc98

How many times have your cursed PHP because you have to explicitly name each field and value when
inserting and updating your database fields? So long as your form field names are named the same as
your DB fields, this script will update, insert, and delete upon command. It's wonderfully commented,
too!!!

PHP Example :
