    Quick question: alarm system with smartphone monitoring

    Cool, thanks for the info. I ended up going with Olarm (to be installed this week). Funny how all of a sudden everyone and his auntie wants subscription money.

    Quick question: alarm system with smartphone monitoring

    Paradox system (with MG5050 panel), needing something like Olarm for remote monitoring etc. Olarm seems like a good option, but disappointed to learn about the annual subscription fees (no mention of that on the App Store page, of course). What other options are out there? Is the Paradox apps...

    Help with HTML/CSS/PHP email form

    Plain old HTML built with Dreamweaver, nothing complicated needed in this case (the form is only name, email and message). The dangerous part is I know literally nothing about PHP, so have very limited understanding of what I am looking at (a few bits makes sense, but I'm light years away from...

    Help with HTML/CSS/PHP email form

    Okay: I have limited success with the following PHP: <?php if($_POST["message"]) { mail("email.address.redacted", "Email from WCA", $_POST["message"].

    Help with HTML/CSS/PHP email form

    Adding @ doesn't work – the line reads the 'mail' entry on the HTML side. Um, how do you 'print' to the webpage? Could be, but I don't think my server host uses DMARC (not sure about DKIM ... but have asked them bout this before). What methods do you web devs use to build an email form??

    Thanks @Mzezman, good to know that the feed should be that good. Likely that Up and Down speeds will be the same?

    Fibre: answers for idiots

    What do us idiots need to know about fibre? What can one expect to get out of, for example, a 100 Mbs (it is Megabits per second, is it not? < See, I'm an idiot) line in terms of speed? How reliable is it compared to ADSL? What's normal, what's not? Any special kit needed? Thanks in...
