I have a file which I call debug.php, which I include wherever I am
having data problems.
I suggest that you temporarily add these 3 lines to your second page.
echo "GET:<br>"; var_dump($_GET);
echo "<br>POST:<br>"; var_dump($_POST);
echo "<br>SESSION:<br>"; var_dump($_SESSION);
Then you will see if the data is arriving

You didn't "do" the query, you just said what it was going to be. You
missed out something like
mysql_query ( $insert2 );
Also, the Close is superfluous, because it is closed automatically when
the server stops creating the page (not when the visitor stops reading
the page)
