I usually send 0 to the primary key


using the mysql client, are you able to replicate the problem? meaning,
do you get the right mysql_insert_id when performing inserts in the
mysql client

from the mysql manual:
"mysql_insert_id() is updated after INSERT and UPDATE statements that
generate an AUTO_INCREMENT value or that set a column value to
LAST_INSERT_ID(expr). See section 6.3.6.2 Miscellaneous Functions.

Also note that the value of the SQL LAST_INSERT_ID() function always
contains the most recently generated AUTO_INCREMENT value, and is not
reset between queries because the value of that function is maintained
in the server."

They say it doesn't get reset [to zero?]

still can't get into the php.net site to look at the php manual :(  so I
can't cross check exactly what php's mysql_insert_id() is doing or for
an alternative

isn't related, but I'm not a fan of NULL columns :)

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.
