does your field have any unique column or primary key column?

$name;$email;$query = mysql_query("select * from table_name where name=$name and email=$email");$num_of_row=mysql_num_rows($query);if($num_of_row <= 0){$another_query=mysql_query("insert into table_name (name, email) values ($name, $email)");}

You dont need to send a query(reduce overhead) if you have any PK or unique constraint in your database table. if your database schema wants any unique column you should constraint it from the database. you can directly execute the INSERT, if there is no any duplication it will get inserted. otherwise when it fails it sends error, you check the specific error number using mysql_errno() and you can show any specific custom error on that. you can check list of mysql error number here ==> http://dev.mysql.com...ges-server.htmlhttp://php.net/mysql_errno
