Page not found when I submit a form but it shows when I reload the same url

I am using the following template file to create a new page from wordpress dashboard.

<?php 
  /*
    Template Name: admin info form
  */
?>

<?php 
require_once('includes/Admin_profile.php');
require_once('includes/session.php');

get_header(); 

?>



  <?php 
if(isset($_POST['submit-btn']))
{


   $admin_info=new Admin_profile();
   $admin_info->admin_prof_id=$_SESSION['admin_id'];
   $admin_info->name=$_POST['name'];
   $admin_info->degree=$_POST['degree'];
   $admin_info->school=$_POST['school'];
   $admin_info->college=$_POST['college'];
   $admin_info->uni=$_POST['uni'];
   $admin_info->pres_addr=$_POST['pres_addr'];
   $admin_info->per_addr=$_POST['per_addr'];
   $admin_info->mobile=$_POST['mobile'];
   $admin_info->department=$_POST['dept'];
    $admin_info->save(); 




}


?>

  1. I got solution. Here I used “name” for a name filed in input of a form.

    WRONG WAY

    <input type="text" name="name"/>
    

    CORRECT WAY

    <input type="text" name="anyName"/>
    

    just avoid naming your input fields “name” to avoid this error.
