Array trouble

Hi, I have been having a lot of trouble getting an array into the MySQL table like I want it. This is supposed to take the current maintenance tasks from a table in the database on apple.php each of these is given a name $item[autoNo] where autoNo is the auto_increment id that task is associated with. This is passed to data.php where it is supposed to make a row in the maintenanceditems table, then in a loop directly below that it is supposed to run the array and place each array value into its associated column in the database. Considering all of the columns exist, I think the problem just has to do with how I am pulling the array values out and placing them into their column. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance, Tyler
