Defaulting to '' means it'll default to the empty string, which is different from a NULL column.  You're right as in this case it probably isn't related, but I'm not a fan of NULL columns :)

Hmm, I'd take another look here.  For INSERT statements, mysql_query() will only return TRUE or FALSE; not a result resource.  Furthermore, mysql_insert_id() takes a link resource; not a result resource.  Nevertheless, still no joy in trying the code.
