$mysql_user_resultset = mysqli_query($con, "INSERT into user (postcode) VALUES ($postcode)");

I have several field in DB. like name, username, etc. all are defined as varchar, but postcode only defined as int. If not enter the value for postcode, it doesn't insert into database

Use PDO or sprintf for formatting mysql query:

sprintf example:

$mysql_user_resultset = mysqli_query($con, sprintf(
  "INSERT into user (postcode) VALUES (%d)", 
$_POST['postcode']));

PDO example:

$st = $db->prepare("INSERT into vendors user (postcode) VALUES (:postcode)");
$st->bindParam(':postcode', $_POST['postcode'], PDO::PARAM_INT);
$mysql_user_resultset = $st->execute();

Convert $_POST['postcode'] to int, using

$postcode = (int)$_POST['postcode'];

You could simply cast your variable into int:

$postcode = (int) $_POST['postcode'];
$mysql_user_resultset = mysqli_query($con, "INSERT into user (postcode) VALUES ($postcode)");

Note that you're not using any precautions regarding SQL injections, I would suggest you to bind your parameters before query them, using PDO class.
