Can I set this to use the SMTP Server at my ISP but still use the database
and PHP files in house. I don't want to make any changes to either the php
pages or the database at the ISP until I have got it all working. Although I
suppose I could set up another site and database at my ISP.

That's the info in question!

The SMTP= entry must be pointing at an SMTP server. Have you installed
SMTP on the local box? In any case, others have had major problems using
"localhost", cf a machine name.
FWIW, I recommend using the SMTP svr at your ISP. Because you can set up
this line to be exactly the same as you have in your email package - and
thus reduce variable factors, if you can get email OUT using your email
client, you should be able to have high confidence that your PHP
infrastructure will work! (so even if you have set up a local SMTP
server, I'd get going on the ISP, and once proven switch back in-house)
