There was a comment on the mail() page on php.net that I found reference to on this archive: http://archives.neohapsis.com/archives/postfix/2005-01/0630.html Although I had read the comments earlier in the day, I didn't follow every last suggestion in all of them. I guess I just needed Alexander to 'push' me into them... It's not the first time you've gotten me out of a mess, Alexander! With the information that I now have, I think that I'll be able to get mysql cooperating with php. Thank you Todd and Paul and Alexander and everyone else!
