Answer 1

There is some error with your query, you can change the logic to this:
$insert = mysql_query("Insert into ticketbook (planeno,nameb,ageb,genderb,preferenceb,date) VALUES('$planeno','$nameb1','$ageb1','$genderb1','$prefb1','$pdate')");
if ( !$insert ) {
die('Invalid query: ' . mysql_error());
} else if ( mysql_affected_rows()!=1 ) {
die('Error inserting row');
} else {
echo '<script type="text/javascript">alert("Your ticket is booked check your email for further details!")</script>';
};
