Answer 1

Try the following Code

    include ("db.php"); 
    if (isset($_POST['register'])) 
    { 
    echo $name = ($_POST["name"]); 
    echo $email = ($_POST["email"]); 
    echo $uname = ($_POST["uname"]);
    echo $password = ($_POST["pass"]);
   $var = mysqli_query('SELECT * from company_profile where email_id = "'.$email.'" or username = "'.$uname.'" ');
$num = mysqli_num_rows($var);
if($num==0)
{
    $result = INSERT INTO company_profile(user_name, password, company_name, email, phone, country, activation_string) VALUES ('$uname','$password','$name','$email','','','');
    $res = mysqli_query($result);
        if($res)
        {
        echo "Records Inserted Successfully!!";
        }
        else
        {
        echo "Records Inserted Failed!!";
        }
}
else
{
echo "User with the Details Already exists!!"
}
     }

Answer 2

The query method would return true or false, depending on if the row has been inserted or not.

*Sweet And Short *

First check that username or email is exist or not using select query if resulting is 0 (it means not exists), Insert query will run ahead

<?php 
   if($_POST['register']){   
      $uname = $_POST['uname'];
      $email = $_POST['email'];
      $name= $_POST['name'];
      $pass= $_POST['pass'];
      $result =  mysqli_query($con, 'SELECT * from TABLE_NAME where email_id = "'.$email.'" or username = "'.$uname.'" ');
       if(mysqli_num_rows($result) > 0){
          echo "Username or email already exists.";
       }else{
         $query = mysqli_query($con , 'INSERT INTO TABLE_NAME (`email_id`, `username`,`name`,`pass`) VALUES("'.$email.'", "'.$email.'", "'.$uname.'","'.$name.'", "'.$pass.'")');

         if($query){
            echo "data are inserted successfully.";
         }else{
          echo "failed to insert data.";
         }
     } 
}
  ?>
