Insert problems with Php Data Services

Question

Hi All,
I am using Flex Data wizards to create a simple CRUD application and i am having problems adding data. It works the first time i start my application but subsequent calls to the insert fail.
I am using FB2 Beta with MAMP. The php classes are being generated using the data wizard. i have tried commenting out mysqli_close but still it doesn't work.
public function createDive_events($item) {
$stmt = mysqli_prepare($this->connection, "INSERT INTO $this->tablename ( divedate, divesite, divecost, description, totalDays) VALUES ( ?, ?, ?, ?, ?)");
$this->throwExceptionOnError();
mysqli_bind_param($stmt, 'ssdsi', $item->divedate, $item->divesite, $item->divecost, $item->description, $item->totalDays);
$this->throwExceptionOnError();
mysqli_stmt_execute($stmt);
$this->throwExceptionOnError();
$autoid = mysqli_stmt_insert_id($stmt);
mysqli_stmt_free_result($stmt);
//mysqli_close($this->connection);
return $autoid;
Any ideas, what i am doing wrong. I have tried using the update and it works only once as well, it seems that the connection to the function is lost after the first call.
thank you,

Ok, this is what I got.
create a mysql table (`people`) with columns id (auto increment), first_name, last_name, age
in the data/service panel connect to a php service, generate a php service from the database and the people table
generate a form from the createPeople service call
observe that in source view we have something like this: <fx:Script>
  <![CDATA[
       protected function button_clickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
          createPeopleResult.token = peopleService.createPeople(people);
  ]]>
</fx:Script>
<fx:Declarations>
  <valueObjects:People id="people"
                       people_id="{parseInt(people_idTextInput.text)}"
                       age="{parseInt(ageTextInput.text)}"/>
  <peopleservice:PeopleService id="peopleService"/>
  <s:CallResponder id="createPeopleResult"/>
</fx:Declarations>
If you now try to execute the code, you will find that you can only insert one person, where each successive addition silently fails.
There is nothing really wrong with the php code (well actually since it's auto incrementing on id you should pull all id reference out of the insert statements...) rather there is a problem with the flex people object.
If you make the following changes the code will work
protected function button_clickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void {
  var myPerson:People = new People();
  myPerson.first_name = people.first_name;
  myPerson.last_name = people.last_name;
  myPerson.age = people.age;
  createPeopleResult.token = peopleService.createPeople(myPerson);
