    The main problem is that from is a reserved word and should be in backticks.

    mysql_query("INSERT INTO message (message_id, `from`, content) VALUES ...");

    But I’d also advise you to stop using the deprecated mysql_* functions. I’d recommend that you take a look at PDO and prepared statements with parameters.
