Sending textbox data to database causing two elements to disappear. Help?

Here is a link to screenshots of what is happening, because I'm crappy at describing things: http://imgur.com/a/ahvPA

 

Of course I've messed the code up somewhere, but I can't for the life of me figure out where. I have a simple page for someone to enter text in a textbox to save in a database to display on another page. There are 10 textboxes on the page. I can enter text into any and all textboxes and it'll save the data in the database, EXCEPT if I enter text into the 2nd textbox. If there's anything in the 2nd textbox after I click submit, it will delete whatever was in the 2nd textbox and move all data in each textbox (except textbox 1, which stays in the same place) down one element. And it pushes the data in the final textbox off the page (presumably because there's no other textbox to accept its data). Here is the code to the two pages affected. Any help would be appreciated! :)

 

 

<?php

// start the session
session_start();

if (!session_is_registered($_SESSION['myusername'])) {
   header ('location:./login.php');
}
$i=1; 
require_once('./dbconnect.php');
$sql="SELECT `event` FROM `events`";
$result=mysql_query($sql);
mysql_close();

?>
