Answer 1

The query will be

mysql_query("INSERT INTO availblesensors VALUES ('$sid','$Desc')");

not

mysql_query("INSERT INTO availblesensors ('$sid','$Desc')");`

You missed VALUES keyword in query.

Answer 2

your sql sentence is wrong..

mysql_query("INSERT INTO availblesensors ('$sid','$Desc')");

you're saying that $id and $Desc are columns in availablesensors, you should add VALUES before the actual values

mysql_query("INSERT INTO availblesensors VALUES ('$sid','$Desc')");

Answer 3

There is a little mistake in code. Change by below code.

mysql_query("INSERT INTO availblesensors ('$sid','$Desc')");

Replaced by

 mysql_query("INSERT INTO availblesensors values ("'.$sid.'","'.$Desc.'")");

Answer 4

Change the lines to this:

if ($sid && $Desc) {
    if(!mysql_query("INSERT INTO availblesensors values ('$sid','$Desc')")) {
        die(mysql_error());
    }  
} else {
    echo "<h3><font color='red'>Please fill in <b>all</b> feilds!</font></h3>";
}    

this way you can see the error it gives you if any

Answer 5

Query should be

mysql_query("INSERT INTO availblesensors VALUES (' ".$sid." ',' ".$Desc." ')");

not

mysql_query("INSERT INTO availblesensors ('$sid','$Desc')");

Answer 6

Here are the required changes

$connet = mysql_connect("localhost", "root", "hahaha1");
mysql_select_db("senior", $connet);        
$sensorcheck = mysql_query("SELECT sid FROM availblesensors 
                                       WHERE sid='$sid'",$connet);
$count = mysql_num_rows($sensorcheck);
if ($count != 0) {
    die("You add this Sensor ID before!");
}        
if ($sid && $Desc) {
    mysql_query("INSERT INTO availblesensors ('$sid','$Desc') 
                                       VALUES('Sensor Id','Sensor Desc')", $connet);
