I've seen several websites that can detect who is the shipping carrier based on the tracking number. Is there an open library or code somewhere that can help me achieve this?
Preferably PHP but I can probably port it if not.
See Regular Expression patterns for Tracking numbers
I recently ran into the same need and have started an open source project called Argo: https://github.com/dsposito/argo
Argo determines the shipping carrier and provider (3rd party such as Endicia or Stamps.com) for a given tracking code.
I don't know about library but with some searching I found question similar to yours:
http://answers.google.com/answers/threadview/id/207899.html
The FedEX, UPS, USPS and AIRBORNE formats are described very well and it won't be hard to write some static methods in a class to validate against them. But you haven't noted which carriers you want to detect, which country, etc, so it might not be of much help.

I am checking if there are any web services out there, to which I can post a ticker symbol and it will return me details about the symbol. Like if I pass 'GOOG' it will tell me that company name, the current price, whether its a Mutual Fund, Equity etc...
I am trying to make a PHP PoC for a service that can collate and show financial stock market information.
Any free service that anyone know of?
I've had experience with a few of these service providers.
My favourite is the Yahoo Finance CSV API.
It returns formatted data based on the URL parameters you provide.
So for example you can post the following: http://download.finance.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv?s=GOOG to get financial information for the 'GOOG' ticker symbol.
Quick example from Yahoo: http://code.google.com/p/yahoo-finance-managed/wiki/csvQuotesDownload
Also check out this page for all the examples of data you can fetch: http://www.jarloo.com/yahoo_finance/, examples include:
Ask, Dividend Yield, Dividend per share, Ask, Previous Close, Open Date, Change and about 100 more.
I use this other one. Very simple and effective
http://dev.markitondemand.com/Api/v2/Quote?symbol=googl
Abd "symbol=googl" it is where you will say the ticker of the company

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.

Do you know a good and free newsletter system written in php that allows users import/export from database or text files, store multiple fields for every user (like name, surname...) and create users groups?
I've tried Listmessenger, but it's not completly free, and CcMail but it's not very good for me...
Even tho you have discounted Listmessenger, I have set it up for numerous companies (with the purchase of a $49 cdn dollar license - for over 200 users!). They have been very pleased, as the software is simple enough for most users, and advanced enough to get the job done (that you require). I have only had good feedback about the software, where otherwise other software created a large learning curve and did not work exactly as well.
I would recommend giving it another try, and $50 cdn dollars is not exactly a fortune for advertising, plus you can use it free for under 200 users (some features missing of course, but I assure you its well worth it).
Otherwise, I have tried phplist.com, but I have found it to be confusing for most users.
But try it if you want: http://www.phplist.com

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.
