 ?>

 <table align="center" border=0 width=80% cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 class=naBrDr>
        <tr>
            <td   height="28" bgcolor="#eeeeee" align="center" ><?php if($cnd_id>0) echo '<b>Edit Candidate</b>';else echo '<b>Add New Candidate</b>';?></td>
        </tr>
     <td align="center" style="padding-top:18px">
      <form name="frm_add" id="frm_add" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']?>" method="post" onSubmit="return validate(this);" enctype="multipart/form-data">
       <table width='600' bgcolor="#cccccc" cellpadding='4' cellspacing='1' align='center'>
              <tr> 
                <td colspan="4">&nbsp;</td>
              </tr>
              <?php if($frm_server_side_error!=""){?>
              <tr> 
                <td colspan="2" align="center" class="form_error"><?php echo $frm_server_side_error;?></td>
              </tr>
              <?php }?>

              <tr> 
                <td>Email Id *</td>
                <td  align="left" colspan="2"><input type='text' id="email_id" name='email_id' size="30" maxlength="30" value="<?php echo $email_id;?>"> <label id='label4'><?php echo $msg?></label>
                </td>
              </tr>
              </table>

this is my code for action page... act_addcandidate1.php

<?php
if(isset ($_REQUEST["cnd_id"]))
{
  $cnd_id           =   $_REQUEST["cnd_id"];

}
else
{
  $cnd_id=0;
}

if($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD']=="POST"){
    $cnd_id             =  $_POST["cnd_id"];
    $email_id1          =  $_POST['email_id'];
?>

<?php
if($cnd_id>0){

$sql="UPDATE tbl_candidate SET email_id = '".$email_id1."' WHERE cnd_id= $cnd_id";
         $obj->query($sql) or die(mysql_error());

    }else {  

    $emailCheck = mysql_query("SELECT email_id FROM tbl_candidate WHERE email_id = '".$email_id1."'");
        if (mysql_num_rows($emailCheck) > 0) {

       $msg= "Email Address Already Exists";
       return;
        }

$sql="INSERT INTO  tbl_candidate(email_id) VALUES('$email_id1');

 $obj->query($sql) or die(mysql_error());
 }
 header("Location: ./candidatelist.php");
        exit();

        else{
    if($cnd_id>0){
        $sql="Select * from tbl_candidate where cnd_id='$cnd_id'";
        $obj->query($sql);
        if($row=$obj->query_fetch()) {
        $email_id           =  stripslashes($row['email_id']);
            }
    }
}
?>

[adam.adamski.96155]

Line 32: $sql="INSERT INTO tbl_candidate(email_id) VALUES('$email_id1'); has a missing quote before the semi-colon.
Line 39: else{ is missing the preceding curly brace.
Fix those, see what happens.

tnx for ur reply... adam.adamski.96155

i fixed that error you mentioned but its not working....

[adam.adamski.96155]

I mentioned two errors, did you fix them both?

What do you want to happen if the email address already exists?

[amith_ami]

hi.. adam.adamski.96155
yeah i fixed them both... but its not working.
actually what i want is...
if the email address already exists it must show an error msg and also stay on the same edit page.....

tnx in advnc...
