is result.php actually being called and if so, have you tried to see what your queries look out. Try and echo out the $sql variable.

Also are you are looping thru the $qno array, try print_r($qno); to see if there is actually data in there

im bit new with php so the problem is i couldn't find error data easily.:?:
as you can see basically im displaying a column field as drop-down list.
then ask enter No of question'
(if i enter 2 then 2 text field will be created automatically)
after i enter data into it.
then all data have to be stored into another table.
Eg:
cid, q#,marks
c1,1,50
c1,2,50.

here evrything has been displayed well but when i click submit, the data doesn't insert into table

Hi,

No need to use array for dropdown name cid[]. use only cid. then it should be work.
