replace your line 20 oh php as

echo $sql="INSERT INTO return (author1,title1,accessno1,name1,regno1,sdate1,ddate1) VALUES('$author1','$title1','$accessno1','$name1','$regno1','$sdate1','$ddate1')";

copy the printed query and execute it in the sql section of your phpmyadmin ans see what happens.

thankuu...i got the correct answer...also i hav 1 doubt.in database date is displayin like 00-00-0000.

change your select box name as day, select2 name as month, and select3 name as year and replace your line 8 of php code as

$sdate1=$_POST['year']."-".;$_POST['month']."-".[$_POST['day']

.

Do the same for other date too.

after entering the data ,some errors are found.
like

Notice: Undefined index: year in C:\xampp\htdocs\project\return.php on line 16

Notice: Undefined index: month in C:\xampp\htdocs\project\return.php on line 16

Notice: Undefined index: day in C:\xampp\htdocs\project\return.php on line 16

Notice: Undefined index: year in C:\xampp\htdocs\project\return.php on line 17

Notice: Undefined index: month in C:\xampp\htdocs\project\return.php on line 17

Notice: Undefined index: day in C:\xampp\htdocs\project\return.php on line 17
can u clear this problem as soon as possible

11 $author1 = $_POST['author1'];
12 $title1 = $_POST['title1'];
13 $accessno1=$_POST['accessno1'];
14 $name1=$_POST['name1'];
15 $regno1=$_POST['regno1'];
16 $sdate1=$_POST['year']."-".$_POST['month']."-".$_POST['day'];
17 $ddate1=$_POST['year']."-".$_POST['month']."-".$_POST['day'];

Read what Karthik suggested to you. This happens because you're sending the same name field for day, month and year. An example, change names of select fields with these:

sdate1day
sdate1month
sdate1year
ddate1day
ddate1month
ddate1year

Change also the lines n.16 and 17, so they will be:

$sdate1=$_POST['sdate1year']."-".$_POST['sdate1month']."-".$_POST['sdate1day'];
$ddate1=$_POST['ddate1year']."-".$_POST['ddate1month']."-".$_POST['ddate1day'];

I have done what u told. But in db, again date is like 0000-00-00......I want to change it to what I’m inserting from form into the database like 2005-3-12

datetime column? Use strtotime():

<?php
$year = '2011';
$month = '9';
$day = '21';
echo date('Y-m-d',strtotime($year.'-'.$month.'-'.$day));
?>

In your case will be:

$sdate1 = date('Y-m-d',strtotime($_POST['sdate1year']."-".$_POST['sdate1month']."-".$_POST['sdate1day']));

bye :)
