See there are some wrong thing in security with your code but now I am going to tell you syntax errors only (cause security is very deep....)

mysql_query("insert into submit values('$_POST','$_POST')");

must evaluate into:
mysql_query("insert into submit(name,roll) values('$_POST','$_POST')");

after name of table you have to put name of column also!

What he's trying to say, is you should never insert user input directly into the database. There are a number of ways a malicious user can use that type of insert statement to hack into your database and screw things up.

Instead, you should always validate the input to make sure that it won't harm your database.

The easiest way to clean code for use in a mysql query is to use the "mysql_real_escape_string()" function.

Like so...

$name = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['name']);
$roll = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['roll']);

//  Create mysql query, using $name and $roll

Incidentally, this may also be causing another error for you. You can't include an array value (like $_POST) directly inside of a string. You need to either wrap the entire array variable in brackets {} or reference the variable outside the quotes using a string concatenation.

For example...

$query = "insert into submit(name,roll) values('{$_POST['name']}','{$_POST['roll']}')";
//  Or...
$query = "insert into submit (name, roll) values ('" . $_POST['name'] . "', '" . $_POST['roll'] . "')";

The error is with the parsing of quotes. Instead, use

$name=$_POST['name'];
$roll=$_POST['roll'];
mysql_query("insert into submit (col1,col2) values ('$name','$roll')");
