You need to investigate further in these lines:

$query="select count(*) from student_info where admission_no='$admission_no'";
$result=mysql_query($query);
$row=mysql_fetch_array($result);
if($row[0]==0)

I am not sure which field is better to use count for, but you may want to change it to something like this:

if($row['COUNT(admission_no)'] == 0 )

or something of that effect.

Or maybe something like this if you are checking to make sure that a number in the database doesn't match the number that is being submitted:

if($row['admission_no'] != $_POST['admission_no'])

It's hard for me to read your form to determine if the admission_no is autogenerated or not.

Try below.

$query="SELECT admission_no FROM student_info WHERE student_info.admission_no='$admission_no'";
$result=mysql_query($query);
$num_rows = mysql_num_rows($result);
if($num_rows > 0)
{
    // admission no already exist in system 
}
else
{
    // admission no not exist
}

Dear vibhadevit,

The coding works. But stil there is a problem. Even though the form submitted there are no records in the database.
Is there a problem in my insert query?

Tha table looks like this.

student_info (st_id, admission_no, admission_date, full_name, name_with_initial, date_of_birth, religion, address, telephone_nograde_on_admission, password, st_house, description_about_st)

pritaeas 2,194 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Moderator Featured Poster · Answer 2 · 2012-03-29T10:18:41+00:00

Do this, if there is an error you'll know:

$query = "INSERT INTO student_info VALUES('$admission_no', '$admission_date', '$full_name', '$name_with_initials', '$dob', '$religion', '$address', '$telephone', '$grade_on_admission', '$password', '$student_house', '$description_about_st')";
$result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());

One likely error is that you have more columns then you are inserting. If that's the case, you'll need to specify which columns you want to use.

I checked and the error says,

Duplicate entry '' for key 'admission_no'

Is anyone got an idea about this?

pritaeas 2,194 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Moderator Featured Poster · Answer 4 · 2012-03-29T13:36:39+00:00

You probably have a unique index set on admission_no, and you are trying to insert a value that is already in the table.

OK thanks, will check.

Check for unique constraint in your database and do as per vibha's post....
As per the error is concerned you are entering data into database even if the same admission_no is present which should be avoided as it is a unique field.

So,if record is already(That can be calculated if

$query="SELECT admission_no FROM student_info WHERE student_info.admission_no='$admission_no'";
$result=mysql_query($query);
$num_rows = mysql_num_rows($result);

num_rows is equal to 1) present donot insert record and display message that record is already present.

Error occurred when submitting form data
