I have the following data structure, what I want is the following: if the data entered is not in the database to enter it, then redirect to student information to enter the new data for the student. Once the data is in, the next time I enter the same data,the program compares the student ID in the database and if a match is found I want the data to display. But this code is not doing that, need help on this
