Entering Data in MYSQL

[hebisr3]

HI there fellas,
I am currently working on this piece of code and is experiencing some difficulties here:

The Objective of this piece of code is to enter some data in a from and then hit submit: the information will then immediately go into the database.

The Error:
I received the error:
Column 'breed' cannot be null

I really don't understand what's happening here....

Here's the code for the insert data page

<?php require_once('Connections/connPets.php'); ?>
<?php
function GetSQLValueString($theValue, $theType, $theDefinedValue = "", $theNotDefinedValue = "")
{
$theValue = (!get_magic_quotes_gpc()) ? addslashes($theValue) : $theValue;

switch ($theType) {
case "text":
$theValue = ($theValue != "") ? "'" . $theValue . "'" : "NULL";
break;
case "long":
case "int":
$theValue = ($theValue != "") ? intval($theValue) : "NULL";
break;
case "double":
$theValue = ($theValue != "") ? "'" . doubleval($theValue) . "'" : "NULL";
break;
case "date":
$theValue = ($theValue != "") ? "'" . $theValue . "'" : "NULL";
break;
case "defined":
$theValue = ($theValue != "") ? $theDefinedValue : $theNotDefinedValue;
break;
}
return $theValue;
}

$editFormAction = $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['PHP_SELF'];
if (isset($HTTP_SERVER_VARS['QUERY_STRING'])) {
$editFormAction .= "?" . $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['QUERY_STRING'];
}

if ((isset($HTTP_POST_VARS["MM_insert"])) && ($HTTP_POST_VARS["MM_insert"] == "insert_dat")) {
$insertSQL = sprintf("INSERT INTO adoption_list (species, breed, name, age, personality) VALUES (%s, %s, %s, %s, %s)",
GetSQLValueString($HTTP_POST_VARS['species'], "text"),
GetSQLValueString($HTTP_POST_VARS['breed'], "text"),
GetSQLValueString($HTTP_POST_VARS['name'], "text"),
GetSQLValueString($HTTP_POST_VARS['age'], "int"),
GetSQLValueString($HTTP_POST_VARS['personality'], "text"));

mysql_select_db($database_connPets, $connPets);
$Result1 = mysql_query($insertSQL, $connPets) or die(mysql_error());

$insertGoTo = "insert_yeah.php";
if (isset($HTTP_SERVER_VARS['QUERY_STRING'])) {
$insertGoTo .= (strpos($insertGoTo, '?')) ? "&" : "?";
$insertGoTo .= $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['QUERY_STRING'];
}
header(sprintf("Location: %s", $insertGoTo));
}
?>

Just as the error says.

The column "breed" in your table is defined to be "not null", but your code is trying to insert a null value.

Can you display the query ($insertSQL) before it gets inserted for us please
