Edit an Inputted user information

A user will input multiple entries and every entry will be labeled as entry no. 1/no. 2 and so on...
When a user wants to edit an entry, he/she will pick the entry number and that would change the whole information.
The problem is when I edit an entry, it would always change the last entry not its entry number.
Do you guys know how to fix this?
Thank You!

The user starts counting from 1. So if he wants to edit Index 1, he will input a = 1.
in your code, you edite p[a] which is instead the next record.

Edit p[a-1] instead.
Thank you! I really appreciate it. It now works!
