Inconsistent insert behavior

Question

Please help.
1. The following code snippet does not work properly:
<td colspan="3">Contact relationship to peer
educator</td>
<td> </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<?php if (isset($_POST['Contact2Peer']) &&
is_array($_POST['Contact2Peer'])) {
echo '$_POST[\'Contact2Peer\'] is an array. It contains: ';
print_r($_POST['Contact2Peer']);
elseif (!isset($_POST['Contact2Peer'])) {
echo '$_POST[\'Contact2Peer\'] does not exist';
else {
echo '$_POST[\'Contact2Peer\'] is of the following data
type:
'.gettype($_POST['Contact2Peer']);
} ?>
<?php foreach($_POST['Contact2Peer'] as $peerrel)
echo "<p>".$peerrel."</p>";
$insertSQLTPR = sprintf("INSERT INTO TEENPEERRELATIONSHIP
(PEEREDU_OWNS_ID,
TEEN_ID,
PEEREDU_TALKS_ID,
CONTACT_DATE,
Contact2PeerID)
VALUES (%s,
%s,
%s,
%s,
%s)",
GetSQLValueString($_POST['peereduid'], "int"),
GetSQLValueString($_POST['teenid'], "int"),
GetSQLValueString($_POST['peereduid'], "int"),
GetSQLValueString($_POST['ContactDate'], "date"),
GetSQLValueString($peerrel, "int"));
mysql_select_db($database_cnPeer_Outreach,
$cnPeer_Outreach);
$Result1 = mysql_query($insertSQLTPR, $cnPeer_Outreach) or
die(mysql_error());
?> </td>
<td colspan="2"> </td>
<td> </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Encounter referred by:</td>
<td colspan="2"> </td>
<td> </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<?php if (isset($_POST['ReferredBy']) &&
is_array($_POST['ReferredBy'])) {
echo '$_POST[\'ReferredBy\'] is an array. It contains: ';
print_r($_POST['ReferredBy']);
elseif (!isset($_POST['ReferredBy'])) {
echo '$_POST[\'ReferredBy\'] does not exist';
else {
echo '$_POST[\'ReferredBy\'] is of the following data type:
'.gettype($_POST['ReferredBy']);
} ?>
<?php foreach($_POST['ReferredBy'] as $refby)
{echo "<p>".$refby."</p>";
$insertSQLCRB = sprintf("INSERT INTO CONTACTREFERREDBY
(PEEREDU_OWNS_ID,

mysql_select_db($database_cnPeer_Outreach,
$cnPeer_Outreach);
$Result1 = mysql_query($insertSQLCRB, $cnPeer_Outreach) or
die(mysql_error());
?> </td>
2. It produces the following results:
(var_dump POST)
array(28) {
["PeerEducator"]=> string(1) "2"
["ContactDate"]=> string(10) "2007-04-30"
["Contact2Peer"]=> array(1) { [0]=> string(1) "3" }

Contact relationship to peer educator
$_POST['Contact2Peer'] is of the following data type: array
3
Encounter referred by:
$_POST['ReferredBy'] is an array. It contains: Array ( [0]
=> 2 )
2
Column 'CONTACT_DATE' cannot be null
3. The second insert fails even though the first insert
works. Also of interest but may be superfluous is the fact that the
two arrays Contact2Peer and ReferredBy trigger different results in
the debugging code.
4. Dreamweaver support would not even touch this case.
