Managing a scalable and high availability website is a lot of work and expensive. That’s why many startups get started with cloud-based web hosting like Amazon Web Services, which proved to be very scalable for Instagram. But, it can still be a bit expensive when you’re not sure your app with take off. PHPFog is a similar scalable PHP web hosting service that is cheap and looks like a good alternative when you’re just getting started. Check it out at

and here are a bunch of other CSS shapes

or just use this CSS Triangle Generator

Set up your email message with text/html boundaries as follows:
[cc lang=”php”]
–$boundary
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Text email content goes here

–$boundary
Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

HTML email content goes here

–$boundary–
[/cc]

Let’s say the message above is in the variable $message.

Set headers and send email.

[cc lang=”php”]
$boundary = uniqid(“”, true);
$additional_headers = “Mime-Version: 1.0rn”;
$additional_headers .= “Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary=$boundary” . “rn”;

mail($to, $subject, $message, $additional_headers, $additional_parameters);
[/cc]

If the user’s email client supports HTML, it will show the HTML version, otherwise, it’ll show the text version.

Let’s say you have a PHP script called message.php with the following contents:

[cc lang=”php”]
Hello, $name;
[/cc]

You can evaluate this code by reading it into a variable as using the eval() function as follows:

[cc lang=”php”]
$name = “David”;
$fh = fopen(“message.php”, ‘r’);
$message = fread($fh, filesize(“message.php”));
eval(“$message = “$message”;”);
echo $message; // prints Hello, David
[/cc]

[cc lang=”php”]
foreach($_POST as $name => $value) {
$$name = trim($value);
}
[/cc]
