try changing this one: if (isset($_REQUEST["Submit"])) with this one: if ($_POST('Submit'))

hi
it is displaying error message like this
RROR:You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'desc,req,yoe,sal,searchdate)VALUES('jhj','hjhg','hjhg','hjghj','hjhj','hjhj','hj' at line 1

Have you tried running your query in MySql?I think the problem there is the query itself,e.g. wrong fields,wrong field type,etc.for example your searchdate is supposed to be a date therefore you must enter a date.Try to check on this one.
