PHP Error: mysql_fetch_array() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given

I am trying to insert data from submitted form into database. The data is being successfully inserted into the DB but I keep getting this error message:

mysql_fetch_assoc() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given

And here’s the code:

function senddata () {
    $con = mysql_connect("localhost","XXX","XXX");
    if (!$con)
        {
    die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
        }
        mysql_select_db("user", $con);
        $sql="INSERT INTO Employment (CollegeMajor) VALUE('$_POST[collegemajor]')";
        $result=mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error());
        $row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result);


    if (!mysql_query($sql,$con))
        {
    die('Error: ' . mysql_error());
        }


    mysql_close($con);
    }

The error message is referring to this line:

$row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result);

This is expected behavior. INSERT statements return a boolean value, true on success and false on failure.

However, you really should look at mysqli or PDO.
