 <?php
if(!empty($_POST["submit"]))
{
 $value = empty($_POST['question']) ? 0 : $_POST['question'];
?>
 <form name="form1" method="post" action="result.php">

foreach ($_POST['cid'] as $c) {$cid [] = $c;}
foreach($_POST['qno'] as $q){$qno[] = $q;}
foreach($_POST['marks'] as $m){$marks[] = $m;}
$ct = 0;
for($i=0;$i<count($qno);$i++)
{

 $sql="INSERT INTO examquesion (CourseID,QuesionNo,MarksAllocated) VALUES('$cid[$i]','$qno[$i]','$marks[$i]')";
 mysql_query($sql,$con) or die('Error: ' . mysql_error());
 $ct++;
 }
echo "$ct record(s) added";
mysql_close($con)

is result.php actually being called and if so, have you tried to see what your queries look out. Try and echo out the $sql variable.

Also are you are looping thru the $qno array, try print_r($qno); to see if there is actually data in there

im bit new with php so the problem is i couldn't find error data easily.:?:
as you can see basically im displaying a column field as drop-down list.
then ask enter No of question'
(if i enter 2 then 2 text field will be created automatically)
after i enter data into it.
then all data have to be stored into another table.
Eg:
cid, q#,marks
c1,1,50
c1,2,50.

here evrything has been displayed well but when i click submit, the data doesn't insert into table

Hi,

No need to use array for dropdown name cid[]. use only cid. then it should be work.

if(!empty($_POST["submit"]))
{
 $value = empty($_POST['question']) ? 0 : $_POST['question'];

echo '<form name="form1" method="post" action="result.php">';
echo '<input type="hidden" name="cid" value="'.$_REQUEST['cid'].'">';
