title: is there a way to show what field you updated in mysql?
body: <p>When users edit their account, I want to display a confirmation page that shows their updated information with the fields that they changed in bold. Is there a mysql statement that allows you to select the fields that a user changes? If not, how exactly can I achieve this</p>
  
  <p>Ex:</p>
  
  <pre><code>(editaccount.php)
  first_name: bob
  last_name:  builder
  email: bobbuilder@gmail.com
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When they change say their first name to "james", the confirmation page 
  shows their first name in bold because they changed that but the other areas are still normal text.</p>
  
  <pre><code>first_name: &lt;b&gt;James&lt;/b&gt;
  last_name: builder
  email: bobbuilder@gmail.com
  </code></pre>
