Turn off db_debug in database config and use

Code:

$this->db->_error_message();
$this->db->_error_number();

Although you will no longer see error messages for any query with db_debug turned off and have to handle them all manually, which isn't a good idea. It would be much better to query to see if that value exists first and return error based on that, or insert if it doesn't.

You are also doing something very dangerous by inserting $_POST directly with no data validation. Very insecure.

All of CI's db "write" type statements (insert/update/etc) return a boolean FALSE if there is an error.

Code:

if ($this->db->insert("country", $_POST) === FALSE)
{
  //there was an error on insert, do something
}

Did you turn db_debug off? db_debug captures and displays all db errors automatically, so you need to turn it off if you want to handle them manually.

For validation of form data: http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-gui...ation.html

You are running the same query 2x now.

It would be much better to check if the value exists first in the db before trying to insert a new one, rather than relying on errors.
