Can't insert new records through PHP into mysql database
Question
When I press the submit button I get error.
object not found error.
And the page automatically adds empty entries with auto incremented primary key (without pressing the submit button).
I am still a beginner in PHP, I searched thoroughly but I can't find out what's wrong in code.

Try this:
$full_name = filter_input(INPUT_POST, 'Name');
$code = filter_input(INPUT_POST, 'Code');
$gpa = filter_input(INPUT_POST, 'GPA');
The reason why I wrote that is because your input names contain Name , Code and GPA so you need to write this exactly as your input names ( case-sensitive ).

Do with isset() . when the submit button clicks only the code runs.
Inside the php you should use the form input name field.
<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit'])){
$link = mysqli_connect("localhost", "username", "password", "students");
if ($link === false) {
die("ERROR: Could not connect. " . mysqli_connect_error());
}
// Escape user inputs for security
$full_name = filter_input(INPUT_POST, 'full_name');
$code = filter_input(INPUT_POST, 'code');
$gpa = filter_input(INPUT_POST, 'gpa');
//to prevent sql injection attack
$full_name = mysqli_real_escape_string($link, $full_name);
$code = mysqli_real_escape_string($link, $code);
$gpa = mysqli_real_escape_string($link, $gpa);
// attempt insert query execution
$sql = "INSERT INTO info (Name,Code,GPA) VALUES ('$full_name', '$code', '$gpa')";
if (mysqli_query($link, $sql)) {
echo "Records added successfully. $full_name";
} else {
echo "ERROR: Could not able to execute $sql. " . mysqli_error($link);
}
// close connection
mysqli_close($link);
}
?>

The problem is the input name. You named Full Name input with name="Name" , but you declare $full_name = filter_input(INPUT_POST, 'full_name'); in php section. you must change full_name to Name . As well as the Code and GPA input.
