Answer 1

DESC is reserved world in Mysql. use backticks (`) around it in query while using it as column name.

Try below :

$sql = "INSERT INTO $db_table(area,schemetype,schemesector,year,`desc`) values  ('".mysql_real_escape_string(stripslashes($_REQUEST['area']))."','".mysql_real_escape_string(stripslashes($_REQUEST['schemetype']))."','".mysql_real_escape_string(stripslashes($_REQUEST['schemesector']))."','".mysql_real_escape_string(stripslashes($_REQUEST['year']))."','".mysql_real_escape_string(stripslashes($_REQUEST['desc']))."')";
