not that has anything to do with databases directly... in your line; mail($email, "Test", $mesg, $from) the "$from" var is not actually supposed to be an email address (RTFM) - it is additional headers, so if you are trying to set the from address, use
$from = "From: <from_email>"; that might help if PHP is checking those as valid headers(?) /beau // -----Original Message----- // From: Kevin J.
