What's the value of $customer_id before you attempt the insert?
right after $customer_id variable is set, do the following:
echo $customer_id . '<br />';
echo gettype ( $customer_id );
exit;
With ADO, a couple of times, I've run into a glitch where bindings
changed types. Haven't taken the time to figure out why. Switching
to autoExecute solves the problem:
$insert_array = array ( 'customer_id' => $db->getone("select nextval
('t_customer_cust_id_seq')"),
'customer_name' => $form->GetInputValue('customer_name'),
'customer_entry_date' => $db->DBDate(time()))
$result = $db->autoExecute ( 't_customer',
$insert_array,
'INSERT' );
Most likely, the reason it works for me is that I cleaned up my error
when switching to the autoExecute method.
