wtf. $_REQUEST is a super global - nothing what so ever to do
with databases.

.... is about as robust as a soap bubble. in a world where 60-70
of all mail is SPAM how far do you think the crufty output your generating
is going to get? my guess is generally just as far as /dev/null
on the recipient machine.

which is why I suggested a mailer class that is known to work and wraps
up all the tricky crap (and protects you from making stupid mistakes like
opening up the mail() function to mail header injection attacks.

most people will probably be using a DB as the source of dynamic content
for generated emails, your situation is nothing special in that regard.

oh yeah and taking the 'to' email address from the request is just asking
for your script to be turned into spambot.
