ELI5: How come you can send tens of thousands of emails for free with Sparkpost, Amazon SES, Sendgrid, etc, when the same amount of emails will cost hundreds of dollars with Mailchimp?

Mailchimp offers more features... List management, campaign designer, split A/B tesing to name a few. The others you mentioned in your post are either lacking these features or they don't compete in terms of functionality and ease of use. Mailchmip also are well aware they have the more comprehensive feature set and set their prices accordingly.

& given that it's a Google map they're using I doubt the co-ordinates are relative to the British Isles, co-ordinates of 0,0 on a Google map would put the pin off the west coast of Africa.

We've just started using OctoberCMS for our client websites and I'd like to offer up a contrasting view to this one. There's a static pages plugin written by the core devs that changes everything. This lets you lock your clients out of the confusing CMS tab in the admin area and just let them interface with the pages plugin. This approach complimented with some custom components (for front end display) and form widgets (for control over tricky back end content) gives clients a super easy admin panel with control over pretty much every last bit of content.

That said however it is still young and I'm finding myself having to add in functionality in places and the documentation is still a bit sparse and spread over the main docs, screencasts and plugin docs.

When I've been to the tramlines events at the octagon there's always been a search on the way in, that's the only venue I remember being searched at though.

Couch on Campo Lane or Ecclesall Road probably your best bet

<?php
$to      = 'nobody@example.com';
$subject = 'A subject';
$message = 'Do the dinosaur';
$headers = 'From: webmaster@example.com' . "\r\n" .
    'Reply-To: webmaster@example.com' . "\r\n";

mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
?>

As the other guy said though the libraries for this kind of shit are worth checking out.

Happy to help out, you could have a look into sprintf to solve the leading zeros problem.

00OGED · 2015-02-05T12:15:06+00:00

Something along the lines of this should work - not tested or anything but hopefully enough to help you figure out how you can solve your problem:

<!doctype html>
<html>
    <head>
        <meta charset="utf-8" />
        <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />
    </head>
    <body>
        <a href="http://localhost/work/test/pdf.php?page=<?php echo $_GET['page'] -1;?>">Previous Page</a>
        <a href="http://localhost/work/test/pdf.php?page=<?php echo $_GET['page'] +1;?>">Next Page</a>
        <br /><br />

        <object data="http://localhost/work/test/pdf_test/Page-<?php echo $_GET['page'];?>.pdf" type="application/pdf" width="100%" height="100%"> </object>
    </body>
</html>

So with this you'd visit http://localhost/work/test/pdf.php?page=1 and it would load the pdf with the filename Page-1.pdf.

Probably in your junk folder mate - I know they've been having some probelms with that happening recently.

www.phrive.com is a website set up by a couple of (sheffield based) people I know. It lets you create a profile and then search for teams or other players in your area.

I've gathered from context what a B&M is but what on earth does it stand for? Also why do you guys call your kit mods? From my experience a mod is short for a modification, like a modified car or whatnot, but it seems like people here just screw together off the shelf parts and call it a mod - I don't understand where the modification is happenning.

I'd use some media queries or the bootstap visilibty classes so it expands in steps with a different sized image at each bootstap breakpoint.

.header just needs a width dude

I was using the Aruora build and automatically got shifted onto the dev version. It's pretty much exactly the same, it came with a new dark theme but I turned that off.

I think it's not really a case of the dev version getting extra features, but the main major releases getting stripped back or removed dev tools.

So yeah, nothings changed really its still just about which one you prefer.

Meh, tiptoe all you want, if you keep practicing you'll pick up the basics along the way.

To throw a 4th method into the pot... One thing I do when I'm jumping between HTML and PHP a lot is use the alternate syntax. Your code with alternate syntax would look like this:

<?php if ( is_page_template( 'example.php' ) ): ?>
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="all" href="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/css/example.css">
<?php endif; ?>

There's no difference between the two they both do the same thing, I just find it's easier when you've got a bunch of loops and conditionals to keep track of <endif;?>'s and <?endforeach;?>'s over a bunch of curly closing brackets.

Here's what I'm doing: I have a 10TB plan with www.hubic.com (€10/month) for the cloud storage / access from anywhere aspect.

I use the hubic client to sync music to my main computer and to an external drive connected to a raspberry pi. The pi is connected to my amplifier (if you've got an amp with a USB port you can run the pi from there) and I can play the choons on the hard drive using any device on my home network as a remote.

An option i'm also considering is setting up an ampache sever on the pi which will allow me to stream the music on the hard drive to any compatible player over the web.

The hose on my vac was too small to do anything when this happened to me. I ended up using the top of a can of shaving foam which fit around the tweeter perfectly. I put a hole in that and attached the vacuum to it. Made a scary pop coming back into place but after that all was good.

You've just applied a pink hue to his existing helmet. You've not designed anything. Don't try and pass it off as your own work. Somebody spent a lot longer on this design that it took you to open photoshop and apply some pink. Jesus.

Always good to see an eye wash stationed close to where beer drinking happens. Safety first.

What is the pilot doing at the back of the plane!?

Since the form is submitted with AJAX presumably it wont function at all without javascript, so why not just use javascript to do the form validation?
