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(?)

//
// I have been unable to get the mail() function to work.
//
// my php.ini file has the following line in it:
// SMTP = mail.attbi.com
//
// my php script is as follows:
// <?
// $email = "to_email";
// $from = "from_email";
// $mesg = "This is a test email. \r\n";
//
// if (mail($email, "Test", $mesg, $from))
// echo "Mail Sent!";
// else
// echo "Mail could not be sent...";
// ?>
//
// Every time I run this script, I receive "Mail could not be sent..."
//
// Any thoughts?
