Create the Account Settings Page for users to view their own user account data. The users should be allowed to make changes to the values displayed to them, however these changes should only be written into the database if the user clicks a 'Save' button located below the displayed user account data. To create the Account Setting page:

1. Code the html mock-up of the Account Settings page
2. Implement php code to load user data from the "users" table for the logged in user and display on the
   Account Settings page
3. Implement php code that executes only when the 'Save' button has been clicked to:
   • read in users values from the Account Settings page
   • check if the values have been modified:
     • If yes - write the modified values to the "users" table in the database
     • If no - proceed with checking the next value until no more values remain to be checked

Instead of having the code to implement the navigation component be in every file, lets have each file reference a navigaiton.php file to load in the navigation component on the webpage. This will

• promote modular implementation as other files will be able to load in the navigation component
• decrease the duplication of code by having it in one file instead of each file

Currently, the login page uses hard-coded parameters for connecting to the parameter. This should be changed to either use the DBconnect.php object or at least use the configuration.php file so the maintainers don't have to modify two different files when there's a DB change.
