Php form field inserts return empty string

Question

hello -
i've created a form that has multiple inserts. it inserts the data fine if i manually parse the data to it but when i use the form to test the inserts it errors out.
i've used echo $_post variable and the variable is their. but its not being inserted into the database.
it says that the string cannot be null?
where do i go from here for debugging?
thanks, in advance for your help!

I've tried entering data but it doesn't insert i've change the column type to longblob from varchar and it still doesnt insert.
here is my code: ignore the numbers and line ending with $
  1 <?php require_once('Connections/upics.php'); ?>$
  2 <?php$
  3 if (!function_exists("GetSQLValueString")) {$
  4 function GetSQLValueString($theValue, $theType, $theDefinedValue = "", $theNotDefinedValue = "") $
  5 {$
  6   if (PHP_VERSION < 6) {$
  7     $theValue = get_magic_quotes_gpc() ? stripslashes($theValue) : $theValue;$
  8   }$
  9 $
10   $theValue = function_exists("mysql_real_escape_string") ? mysql_real_escape_string($theValue) : mysql_escape_string($theValue);$
11 $
12   switch ($theType) {$
13     case "text":$
