I wrote web service which will generate label from certain parameters and will return it as PDF. Now I must improve it by returning generated label as PDF or ZPL format.
Unfortunately, I have zero knowledge on working with ZPL. What is ZPL? Is it some kind of file format? What is used for? How its generated? Any open-source PHP libraries for it?
It would be nice if someone would provide some whitepapers or some kind of reference about ZPL.
Web service is written in PHP.

I am currently using Dreamweaver to run PHP codes.It involves extracting values from the database and most of the time it involves sensitive data. A friend suggested to use CodeIgniter as it has higher levels of security and more layers. What should I do? Should i continue using Dreamweaver or switch to CodeIgniter?
CodeIgniter is a PHP framework. Dreamweaver is an IDE. You can use PHP, HTML , CSS , and ofcourse CodeIgniter library inside Dreamweaver.
Both are different. Dreamweaver is an editor whereas CI is a PHP framework.

To generate pdf file from html page I have used libraries like MPDF , FPDF, DOMPDF etc.
In each pdf library I found following issues.
mpdf causes unnecessary page breaks
FPDF needs more writting. etc
When I used DOMPDF it worked fine but large table didn't expanded to next page and pdf broke without generating next pages.
Then I searched for another pdf library and I came to know about TCPDF.
SO I want to know what are the disadvantages of "TCPDF"?
A great alternative for PDF generation is wkhtmltopdf. It has a smooth integration and the result is awesome. You will have to install the binary into your server, though. If you're on a VPS or dedicated, this will not be a problem.
There's a PHP lib for using it, you can find it here: https://github.com/KnpLabs/snappy
Also, there's a nice solution for the large table problem you have. Maybe it can help you with another lib too, take a look here: https://code.google.com/p/wkhtmltopdf/issues/detail?id=566

I am looking for a php library which supports accepting an excel file (like .xls or .xlsx) and then some sort of functionality to create an array populated with values of each column. (Separate arrays).
I know there might not be a read to use solution thus I thought about programming it. However, I was wondering which library could I use for several scenarios?
The few I cam across were
https://github.com/PHPOffice/PHPExcel
http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpexcelreader/
https://github.com/PHPOffice/PHPExcel
I have no idea which one use, though codeplex one seems to be most functional, but I don't want to use a too heavy php library and then not end up using 90% of the code.
Also depending of the framework which one could fit better?
PHPExcel is the great library. I prefer to use it!
You can also take a look an example of this library on CodeIgniter here
I use PHPExcel at codeplex! They have great support there! Also it is very lightweight and has great documentation!

What are the best PHP solutions for a blip.fm-like fixed audio player?
You should be able to use XMoov to do this: http://stream.xmoov.com/
Well you have two options, either use a flash based solution, there's plenty of examples here.
Otherwise if flash is a problem you can try using the new html 5 audio tag, the spec is here.
