Ah ya, let me call you WordPressian if you are a wordpress fan. Last night I developed a small plugin for bengali wordpress users. If you install this plugin you will be able to write in Unijoy, Phonetic and Plain English mode. You will get three buttons as shown here
Then you can type Unicode on se,ecting either UniJoy or Phonetic
And you can write english anytime by clicking English button or pressing Control+C
Thats it. I will release this plugin under Ekushey.org by Tomorrow
CodeIgniter recently gained a lot of attraction from different level of PHP developers because of it’s simplicity and creative flavour. I started learning CakePHP but its so much automated and took time to learn all these stuffs, I moved to CodeIgniter and fall into love with it. Amazing framework.
Recently CodeIgniter website got a new look an feel, a very impressing design indeed. But the sad part of the story is that they also changed the logo which I didn’t like at all. The old logo was much more creative.
Love for CodeIgniter and it’s developers.

While surfing out there, I just find some cool PHP Apps which may come handy for you.
1. Tasks Jr by AlexKing

2. MythTv
MythTV is a GPL licensed suite of programs that allow you to build the mythical home media convergence box on your own using Open Source software and operating systems. MythTV is known to work on Linux and Mac OS X (PowerPC and Intel). It does not run on Windows.
3. PHP-Java Bridge
The php/Java bridge is an optimized, XML-based network protocol, which can be used to connect a native script engine, PHP, with a Java or ECMA 335 virtual machine. It is more than 50 times faster than local RPC via SOAP, requires less resources on the web-server side, and it is faster and more reliable than communication via the Java Native Interface.
4. Relay Ajax Directory Manager
An excellent PHP+Ajax directory manager script
5. Vanila
A nice and Simple bulletin board script
If you want to count the occurrence of words in a string, the following routine may help you. For example if you supply the string “hello hello Hello I am am Hasin” it will out put the followng
hello = 3
I = 1
am = 2
hasin = 1
Here is the code
<?php
$str = “hello hello Hello I am am hasin”;
$word_count = (array_count_values(str_word_count(strtolower($str),1)));
ksort($word_count);
foreach ($word_count as $key=>$val)
echo $key .” = “. $val.”<br/>”;
?>
After getting the solution for sending message to MSN contact I got another cool idea. I can easily develop a small plugin for wordpress using which people will be able to subscribe to any blog with their MSN address. and When that blog will update, that plugin will automatically send new post URL to those subscribed MSN addresses.
Whoa!!
I have started developeing this cool plugin for wordpress.
There are many libraries available for java developers to connect to
msn messenger and send/receive message to MSN contacts. But I was in
need for one PHP library. Finally I have found one. The name of this
class is sendMessage. It’s simply awesome.
Download the code from :

Kudos to the developer.
I have been planning to develop a localized messenger service for Bangladeshi peoples for quite a long time. I studied a lot on this topic and many times attempted to kick start the development, but unfortunately I ran out of time every time. But what I found is a wide range of libraries available for developers to develop such a service without spending a great amount of time. Let me list some of them here for You

2. sendMsg [PHP For MSN (The Best)]
3. MSNP [PHP for MSN]
4. Joscar [Java for AOL/ICQ]

If you are looking for a solution to access content over SSL, please take a look at this solution. Here i am fetching content from del.icio.us over SSL. the trick is you have to accept SSL certificates by setting CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER to false.
<?php
// HTTP authentication
$url = “https://api.del.icio.us/v1/posts/all”;
$ch = curl_init($url); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, “username:pass”);
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER,false);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
echo htmlspecialchars($result);
?>
