ok, first thing is your using $result twice, basically you have colliding variables. second thing is that your insert statement is incorrect. Whenever you use an insert statement you need to define the table fields, then use the "VALUES" to insert into the table fields.

$name=$_POST["name"];
$addressline1=$_POST["addressline1"];
$addressline2=$_POST["addressline2"];
$email=$_POST["email"];

$con = //Connection;
mysql_select_db("db", $con);
$sql = "INSERT into table(name,addressline1,addressline2,email) VALUES('$name','$addressline1','$addressline2','$email')";
if(mysql_query($sql,$con)) {
    die('Error: ' . mysql_error());
} else {
    print "name=$name addressline1=$addressline1 addressline2=$addressline2 email=$email ";
}

On the database display, you cannot use 0 or 1 or 2 or 3. define them from your table fields. Also, you have to use fetch_array not fetch_row. A really great website is www.w3schools.com
