[FX.php List] One Button, two forms/scripts?

[Steve Winter]

Johnathan,

Quick and dirty fix, copy the block of php code from the top of
edit_response.php which does the updating of the database and paste it
into the head of approve.php, that way, any changes which they have made
since last hitting 'Refresh' will be logged back into the db...(another
reason why the  single file concept is nice and neat ;-)

Cheers
Steve
