CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `institution` (
`i_id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`i_name` varchar(100) NOT NULL,
`address` varchar(1000) NOT NULL,
`website` varchar(100) NOT NULL,

ALTER TABLE `school`
ADD CONSTRAINT `school_ibfk_1` FOREIGN KEY (`institute`) REFERENCES `institution` (`i_id`) ON DELETE CASCADE ON UPDATE CASCADE;

Check whether you are able to see the values after posting the data.

Just try printing your data after submitting the data

echo "<pre>";
print_r($_REQUEST);
echo "</pre>";

The main problem in your code is you have to put your select box code inside the form. Then only you can see the submitted data.

<?php
$connection = mysql_connect("localhost", "root", "")  or die("Could not connect to MySQL " .mysql_error() );
$selection = mysql_select_db("inno_education")  or die("Unable to select database.  " .mysql_error());

for ($x=0; $x<count($_POST['i_name']); $x++) {
$Name=mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['i_name'][$x]);
$SchoolName=mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['s_name'][$x]);
$sql = "INSERT INTO school (i_name, s_name) VALUES ('".$Name."', '".$SchoolName."');";
$result = mysql_query($sql, $connection) or die ("Error inserting record");
}
?>
<body>
<?php
	echo "<form action='' name='form'>";
	echo "<table align='left' border ='0' width = '100%'>";
	echo "<tr bgcolor='d5d5d5'><td width ='20%'><strong>Institution Name</strong></td><td width ='60%'><strong>School Name</strong> </td></tr>";
for ($x=0; $x<count($_POST['s_name']); $x++){
$Name=$_POST['i_name'][$x];
$SchoolName=$_POST['s_name'][$x];
echo "<tr bgcolor='e5e5e5'><td> $Name </td><td>$SchoolName</td></tr>";}
echo "</table>";   
echo "</form>";
?>
</body>

I am trying like this but it just show school name and it do not save to database... can u help me??

Where is your submit button, where is your select query, How you are fetching and displaying the results with out select query?
