hello…

i’d guess it’s because you are sending your form info as mail headers as opposed to in the body of the email – here’s the php doc page:

https://php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php

that has some samples of what types of mail headers you could use (they are optional, though) – things like Cc, Bcc, Reply-To, etc…

you should put all your info in the message param, which is the 3rd one…so something like this:

$to = “costellovolunteer@gmail.com”;
$subject = “Volunteer Request”;
$name = $_REQUEST[‘name’];
$email = $_REQUEST[’email’] ;
$phone = $_REQUEST[‘phone’];
$yesnewsletter = $_REQUEST[‘yesnewsletter’];
$event = $_REQUEST[‘event’];
$admin = $_REQUEST[‘admin’];
$sign = $_REQUEST[‘sign’];

$mail_body = “From: $email” . “\n”;
$mail_body .= “Phone : $phone” . “\n”;
$mail_body .= “Newsletter : $yesnewsletter” . “\n”;
$mail_body .= “Host an event : $event” . “\n”;
$mail_body .= “Administrative work : $admin” . “\n”;
$mail_body .= “Hold a sign : $sign” . “\n”;
$mail_body .= “Comments : $phone” . “\n”;
$mail_body .= $_REQUEST[‘comments’] ;

$sent = mail($to, $subject, $mail_body) ;

if($sent)
{print “Your mail was sent successfully”; }
else
{print “We encountered an error sending your mail”; }

give that a shot and see if it works for you!

ahh – ya. that would work then – didn’t suggest that as i figured it wasn’t a single-user mode…. 🙂

hello…

well – you mean that you personally, the user, can turn that stuff off in your local browser, ya? if so, that will work for you, but you then have to tell each user to do that, and that’s not something many (if any) will do… :-/

hello…

never used it, but this might be a good place to start:

hello…

that’s a hard question to answer – are you contacting annie leibovitz or the college kid taking night design school classes? it would totally vary by who you were contacting, and it could get very expensive depending on usage…

(or it could be very reasonable – again, there’s no real average number here)

places to try that are commercial-license friendly can be wikipedia commons (some there are not for commercial use, though, and you have to attribute and potentially re-distribute) or somewhere like istockphoto, which has fixed rates based on usage and has some nice stuff…

hope that helps…

hello…

wasn’t endorsing that one per se – it was just a sample to clarify what you wanted to do…

here’s a plethora of ’em that might suit your needs:

hello…

as with the last shadowbox issue you posted, we really need an example of _your_ code that is trying to implement the solution so that we can help you find out why it might not be working.

there are hundreds of thousands of free scripts to do just about anything out there, and i’ve personally never heard of or worked with this one that you are referencing, so we really have to see your code in action to help you…

hello…

still not quite clear on your goal – if you want a menu that appears and disappears when you mouse over another element such as this:

https://www.lwis.net/free-css-drop-down-menu/dropdown.simple.horizontal.html

then you have to use javascript to trigger the menu appearing and disappearing. if you just want a menu that has all of it showing at one time and doesn’t get triggered by mousing over something else, then you can use all css for that…

hello…

so do you also have the javascript to trigger the menus? not quite following what your specific issues are?

[Curtis Thompson]

hello…

here’s the catch – i can’t offer you any solutions as to why yours doesn’t seem to be working if i can’t see a relatively simple example of your broken implementation… :-/

what i would recommend is to take a basic example of theirs and make a simple plain test page on your site (just with one shadow box on the page) – get theirs working there, and then start to swap in your content and fix it in small increments. then, once you have your content working in their shadowbox example, integrate that into your larger page that you just sent here…

if you get stuck along the way, point us to your test page and we can see what suggestions we can offer.
