I am designing a full featured website that includes a blog on the homepage. I want it to be full featured, but I dont want to spend forever coding it. Is there any good blogging system that can be easily integrated with CodeIgniter?
Honestly I would separate CodeIgniter from the blog code. If you look at many websites that have a blog these days, they will often have the main application at www.example.com and then host their blog at blog.example.com, where they will have an installation of Wordpress (which I recommend, since you already have a php/mysql stack) or something similar. You can still make this work if you'd prefer to have it at example.com/blog but depending on your site you may have to do some modification of things like your .htaccess file, as well as your blog system theme if you want it to look like the rest of your site.
Expression Engine 2.0 is built on CodeIgniter, and made by the same company Ellis Labs. It's pretty decent, and will be very familiar to you if you're already familiar with CI.
If you plan on making a public blogging platform, you can not use Expression Engine due to licensing violation. see: http://expressionengine.com/sales_faq/article/myspace_blogservice/
For a free alternative, try http://pyrocms.com/ . I have been thinking about implementing myself as I wish to implement a blog on my current site.

I need to code a small admib panel that should get and display statistics from remote servers. The main problem here is that I need to do that ASAP. So the main question here is: to use CMS or not? I'm almost sure that deploying something big like Joomla or Drupal will not be quick. Still, maybe there's something easier that matces the following conditions.
has implemented security stuff (secure login, sessions and etc);
has implemented user/groups/privileges mechanism;
has an abbility of adding users for Super Administrator.
UPD. framework instead of CMS will do as well.
Are you familiar with codeIgniter ? If yes then it is what you want.
Bonfire
It is a CMS with full time functionality of user/groups/privileges mechanism and many more.

We're looking for a LMS that we can use as the basis for a new product we're rolling out.
As it's principally a content based thing, we need to base everything on a LMS, but there's a few things we need:
As we're supporting tens - hundreds of users, we ideally need a multi-tenant LMS (single shared code base), that can support different designs per site
As we're selling in functionality, we need something that will let us deploy a new 'module' and switch it on/off on a per site basis
We prefer stuff that is open source (PHP)
Before I consider building something, is there anything out there that's any good?
Here are a few opensource LMS alternatives:
http://www.dotlrn.org/
http://www.efrontlearning.net/
http://www.dokeos.com/
http://www.sakaiproject.org/
http://atutor.ca/
You can also look at SCORM Cloud that takes away a lot of headaches for deploying content. All you need is a frontend like Wordpress or Joomla.
As a free open source lms I would suggest Moodle - http://www.moodle.org.
Among commercial e-learning solutions I tried, I'd choose JoomlaLMS - http://www.joomlalms.com - it also has an open sourced version and is easy to set up.

The site that I am working on creates user sites like (domain.com/user). We want to show the users some web traffic statistics relevant to their own site, like how many views from facebook, twitter etc. Can you guys please recommend a solution which we can integrate into our PHP/MySQL based system? Or is it better to build one inside the system ourselves using mangoDB or something similar?
Any pointers would be appreciated.
For preference, unless you are using SSL, I would recommend implementing the sites as user.example.com/ rather than domain.com/user - it's much easier to configure your webserver to write seeprate log files / most off the shelf web analytics packages will split a log file from multiple vhosts into reports per vhost.
There's lots of tools available off the shelf - piwik, awstats, webalizer, analog
Google analytics is amazingly good value compared to most commercial offerings.
If you need to persist with your current naming schema, then consider using a too which relies on page tagging rather than log analysis.
Or is it better to build one inside the system ourselves using mangoDB or something similar?
I'd suggest that's very much a last resort - if you can't find what you need, then I'd recommend forking one of the open source packages.

Is there any PHP application that can automatically generate add/edit forms and listing pages by just reading the database. Like PhpMyAdmin but highly customizable through code or configuration files.
The main reason is to avoid time spent on development of back-end of web applications.
Try a framework, like CakePHP or Symfony. Almost all frameworks offer scaffolding for the backend part of the app. Here's the Cake way, and here's the Symfony way.
Symfony (using Propel or Doctrine) may have just what you're looking for: define the tables and their relationships, and it will generate the models for them, from which it can again generate admin listing/add/edit forms.
Try XataFace
I used it for my websites and it works ok (at least until you want too much from customization)
Try Symphony for code or Modubiz for just configuration.
Forms and pages? Surely this is front-end, not back-end?
You might want to have a look at phpeanuts, phpformgen, phplens, dhtmlxgrid (NB there are other free ajax data grids - but I've not played with them much)

I am thinking of starting a blog, which I would like integrated into my existing website. I come back empty handed from googling for a comparison of blogging software written in PHP.
My requirements:
Simple but not rudimentary (not a result of a 15 minute CodeIgniter tutorial)
Quality source code (I'd like to be able to learn from it and maybe change it)
Prefer PHP5 over PHP4
Work with MySQL
Easy to integrate into an existing website (I don't want it to be a separate application with a different look and feel under a "blog" directory
Run under safe_mode
Built-in or easy-to-add source code highlighting would be a plus.
Many programmers use Serendipity.
Wordpress' code base is really a mess. A bunch of functions operating on global variables.
I don't ask you to simply trust me, or anyone else. Go look yourself at the code!
And it's written in php4 style, so definitely not what the topic starter asked for.
Wordpress definitely... Great support, many plugins, many themes, etc.
why not try with wordpress ? I think really fit in all your points
Update:
if you still dont like wordpress I can recommend Mephisto which was wrote in ruby. I have tried it but for me was a pain in the ass. Simply wasn't intuitive for me as user.
Wordpress, no question.
You can always have the best with Wordpress + Host it on your own to utilize all of it's great features.
