A while ago I built a PHP application for a local radio. They get requests from listeners and then put them into the application. The application then shows the DJ what the listener's requests are.
Now that all works fine but they have to build a music database by themselves which I use to search for music. My question is:
Is there an online music database that I can use cross scripting with soap/xml or something similar? I prefer XML but if there is a good database which gives the result in other format that won't be a problem.
I searched Google for this but I only find information how to download illegal mp3 files. I just need to find the music information like: album name, artist name and song title. Not the mp3/wma/etc file itself.
You may find something useable here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_online_music_databases ?

I have website and I need to build fast search engine for it. I have to search text in database or files (word, pdf) . I want too when I search a text the result the exact word or a text which have close writing, for example, I type "exemple" the result show "example" or "examples" even if this text is in database or in files(word, pdf). My website is in PHP and I don't work with any framework.
Can someone tell me a solution or give me a link tutorial about this.
Thanks
There are a bunch of solutions (e.g. do you want to index your files periodically of do you prefer ad hoc searches?).
Look up XML parsing and PDF parsing.

I have a project that is using Codeigniter. I'm looking for a search that will help drill down into specific results, similiar to Amazon and Ebay (sidebar with options based off of results).
Before I attempt to tackle this from scratch, I wanted to know if there's an easier way (or plugin) to get started on this.
I've done searching and saw that Amazon has a name for their search (A9) but no information on usage or purchasing.
Any guidance would be appreciated.
You need an indexing server. Solr or ElasticSearch. You index you data from MySQL (or other DB) to one of those 2 servers. Then you connect your search Model to that server and query data. Each of those servers can provide faceted search where you can build ebay/amazon like filter form.

I am planning to create myself a photo storing solution - like dropbox, just in my own server and only with photos.
I was thinking of only one public page - login form. So when you enter www.example.com > you end up with a login form > after login you see your albums and you can easily create new ones/upload photos, bulk download and etc.
The system has to be super easy to use (senior citizen will be using it), should be compatible with mobile phones and all photos should be absolutely private!
I have searched online, but most of the systems are overcrowded with unnecessary tools that make the system complicated and orientated more to public galleries.
Any ideas of similar systems already created that I could use?
You have a few options here, personally I would just build this as that way you are getting exactly what you want.
However, not everyone has the time or patience I have. So as an alternative :
OwnCloud is the best option here in my opinion as I have installed and used this before. It is very user friendly and simple to install.
OR I would suggest investigating these : alternatives

We are planning on building a pay per view (PPV) video solution but we have no idea from where to start. Here are the current givens:
it will be hosted on Linux
using PHP
Database: MySQL
And by PPV I mean:
- going to website, selecting a movie to watch/download
- going to payment portal and paying
- being now able to watch/download
So here is my question, from where to start?
is there an existing (recommended) solution that we can download/buy?
Any information would be really appreciated
I was just reading about someone who had a platform like this intended for adult movies that he was offering, may have even been open source. I'm sorry I forget what it was, but even if your content is G rated, software intended for porn will probably have the features you want so I'd start looking there. It's a big industry so there has to be a few ready made solutions available.

I had an idea to work on a livescore site with some additions, however before even trying to work on one, I would like to know from where such sites get their data from?
Thanks for any answer.
I've no idea for this particular site, but it seems like there are a couple of viable possibilities:
Subscribe to a live feed of information from a provider, e.g. a broadcaster or similar. I would imagine this would cost a fair bit and be subject to restrictions on use, etc.
Hire people to obtain the information from a variety of sources (including primary sources, i.e. watch several of the games) and update a database manually.
Scrape ("borrow") the information from one or more other sites which do one of the above.
you can do this using google live sports data api xml ->http://www.xmlsportsfeeds.com/products/live-scores/ it's a kind of paid rss feeds and they can be quite expensive.
