simple form input type submit and reset not functioning

Question

I have been trying all different ideas from different threads around the internet but i cant seem to find any ideas why my form will not submit or reset the changes i have made to the data. The code works to pull the data from the data base but when i make changes the submit and reset buttons do nothing.

<?php
session_start();
//check session first
if (!isset($_SESSION['employee_id'])){
    echo "You are not logged in!";
    exit();
}else{
    //include the header
    include ("../includes/managerheader.php");
    require_once ('../../mysqli_connect.php');
    $customer_id=$_GET['customer_id']; 
    $query = "SELECT * FROM customers WHERE customer_id=$customer_id"; 
    $result = @mysqli_query ($dbc, $query);
    $num = mysqli_num_rows($result);
    if ($num > 0) { // If it ran OK, display all the records.
        while ($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result, MYSQLI_ASSOC)){
?>
            <form action="customerupdate2.php" method="post">
            Customer ID: <input name="customer_id" size=50 value="<? echo $row['customer_id']; ?>"></br></br>
            First Name: <input name="first_name" size=50 value="<? echo $row['first_name']; ?>"><p>
            Last Name: <input name="last_name" size=50 value="<? echo $row['last_name']; ?>"><p>
            Email Address: <input name="email" size=50 value="<? echo $row['email']; ?>"><p>
            Password: <input name="password" size=50 value="<? echo $row['password']; ?>"><p>
            Address: <input name="address" size=50 value="<? echo $row['address']; ?>"><p>
            City: <input name="city" size=50 value="<? echo $row['city']; ?>"><p>
            State: <input name="state" size=50 value="<? echo $row['state']; ?>"><p>
            Zip: <input name="zip" size=50 value="<? echo $row['zip']; ?>"><p>
            Telephone: <input name="telephone" size=50 value="<? echo $row['telephone']; ?>"><p>
            Payment Type: <input name="payment_type" size=50 value="<? echo $row['payment_type']; ?>"><p>
            Card Number: <input name="card_number" size=50 value="<? echo $row['card_number']; ?>"><p>
            <input type="submit" value="update">
            <input type="reset" value="reset">
            <input type="hidden" name="customer_id" value="<? echo $row['customer_id']; ?>">
            </form>
<?
        } //end while statement
    } //end if statement
    mysqli_close($dbc);
    //include the footer
    include ("../includes/footer.php");
}
?>

The action of the form is linked to this:

<?php
session_start();
//check the session
if (!isset($_SESSION['manager'])){
    echo "You are not logged in!";
    exit();
}else{
    //include the header
    include ("../includes/managerheader.php");
    require_once ('../../mysqli_connect.php');
    #execute UPDATE statement
    $first_name = mysqli_real_escape_string($dbc, $_POST['first_name']);
    $last_name = mysqli_real_escape_string($dbc, $_POST['last_name']);
    $email = mysqli_real_escape_string($dbc, $_POST['email']);
    $password = mysqli_real_escape_string($dbc, $_POST['password']);
    $address = mysqli_real_escape_string($dbc, $_POST['address']);
    $city = mysqli_real_escape_string($dbc, $_POST['city']);
    $state = mysqli_real_escape_string($dbc, $_POST['state']);
    $zip = mysqli_real_escape_string($dbc, $_POST['zip']);
    $telephone = mysqli_real_escape_string($dbc, $_POST['telephone']);
    $payment_type = mysqli_real_escape_string($dbc, $_POST['payment_type']);
    $card_number = mysqli_real_escape_string($dbc, $_POST['card_number']);  


    $query = "UPDATE employees SET employe_id='$employe_id',first_name='$first_name',last_name='$last_name',email='$email',
    password='$password',address='$address',city='$city',state='$state',zip='$zip',
    telephone='$telephone',payment_type='$payment_type',card_number='$card_number', WHERE id='$id'"; 
    $result = @mysqli_query ($dbc, $query); 
    if ($result){
        echo "<center><p><b>The selected customer has been updated.</b></p>"; 
        echo "<a href=managerloggedin.php>Home</a></center>"; 
    }else {
        echo "<p>The customer could not be updated due to a system error" . mysqli_error() . "</p>"; 
    }
    mysqli_close($dbc);
    //include the footer
    include ("../includes/footer.php");
}

?>
