Hello,

May be try something like this:

$query1=
CREATE TABLE contacts(
id int(16) NOT NULL auto_increment,
phone varchar(15)  NOT NULL,
name varchar(15) NOT NULL,
address varchar(15) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (id)
);

$query2 = "INSERT INTO contacts VALUES ('NULL','$phone', '$name', '$address')";

P:S
id incremented automatically by MYSQL now

Maybe - but it's by accident. You're trying to insert the word NULL into an int field (it's being treated as a word because of the single quotes around it).

Don't specify the id field at all:

$query2 = "insert into contacts(phone, name, address) values ('" . mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['phone']) . "', '" . mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['name']) . "', '" . mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['address']) . "')";

You should always use the field names (as above) because if your table gets reordered, your inserts will now break - if you put "name" before phone, the data is now going into the wrong fields.
