Maybe you would like to post your validation code then. I (we) do not know where the line:
(((isset($_POST["skill[]"]))?$_POST["skill[]"]:"")."",true,true,true,true,"" ,false,1); is being called. Have you thought about using an iteration as you have when constructing the INSERT statement? Have you considered placing validation within the iteration you have when constructing the INSERT statement? If you do a print_r($skills) you will see that although in the form they are named skill[] when passed to your script they will be skill[0], skill[1], skill[2]... Also, this line : foreach($_SESSION['skills'] as $key => $skill) could read foreach($skills as $key => $skill) as you have the line: $skills = $_SESSION['skills']; Same for skys and slus.
