Answer 1

4 things,

1. escape your values: mysql_real_escape_string
2. properly add php vars to a string: sprintf or for array notation use curly braces "{$data['var']}"
3. backtick around group (or every field name to be certain)
4. Don't enclose NULL or NOW() in ticks, quotes etc.. (you are actually OK on this, just wanted to make sure you kept it)
