Are there any APIs for helping running tournaments that can draw brackets, count scores, etc? Something on PHP/javascript would be nice but I can't find any.
Thanks.
I'm in the process of building one right now.
Mine supports Round-Robin, Single-Elimination, and Boil-Off tournaments! I am working on Double Elimination as we speak. [I actually need to get it done for an event we have this weekend. ;)]
It also supports the folowing scoring modes: Highest Score (Team Sports), Lowest Score (Golf, etc.), Highest Time (King-of-the-Hill), and Lowest Time (Racing, etc.).

Here it is in action:
http://lanlordz.net/Events/ViewTournament/4
As you can tell, it was optimized for LAN parties.
It is not in PHP; but, I would encourage a port to PHP.

Not free though
There is a pretty useful jquery plugin that draws a binary tree which can be used for building tourney brackets.

I need to create a custom chart as shown. Can anyone suggest a library for doing this? I've used highcharts in the past, but never seen one quite like this.
I'm not opposed to doing it from scratch if I have to, but I was hoping somebody had a suggestion.
I'm using php on the backend and jquery on the front.
Google Charts API has tons of chart types and it's pretty intuitive.
If you want to totally customize the chart then Raphael.js lets you control every aspect of it, though you'd be building a chart from scratch.
Processing.js is another one if you want to work from scratch.

Well, I recently have been trying to come with code to create matrix in which word hunting can be done. I want the user to initialise rows, columns and of course give the words, it is too difficult to create such code/algorithm as the words can be placed vertically, horizontally or diagonally. I also tried google for such algorithms but without any luck. So, if anyone has an algorthm in mind or has written such PHP code, itll be really great if I can see that.
Thanks in Advance,
Nalin Bhardwaj
I am so sorry , I posted this question here, as suggested by one of the users, I googled a few different things online an dhave found a ruby file which has been built for the same purpose. And , if anybody would like to access it, they may check it out online at http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/cgi-bin/scat.rb/ruby/ruby-talk/298382 . And, now I have decided to use this algorithm itself to create such a PHP file. Thank you everybody, for suggestions

Are there any popular PHP libraries or services that can help detect duplicate content?
I run a site that has user generated content and I want to detect content that are similar or duplicated. Are there any popular libraries out there that can help with this?
Text similarity/plagiat/duplicate is a big topic. There are so many algos and solutions.
Some projects use the "adaptive local alignment of keywords" (you will find info on that on google.)
Also, you can check this (Check the 3 links in the answer, very instructive):
Cosine similarity vs Hamming distance
Hope this will help.

In my webiste, I classify all my entries by categories, wich its becoming a little confusing as I have like 3.000 entries now.
so, I need to implement tags.
I know all the website use them now, wordpress and everything.. I have been google'ing for a real while... is there a built in script (or almost) to manage tags? (insert tags, list tags, top tags,.)
I mean, there has to be any utility that can help me with this.. do you know any?
you haven't found a script probably because using tags is quite simple :)
I have implemented tags into one of my projects using the "Scuttle" solution in the next link:

Hope this helps...
Treat your categories as tags now.
If your categories are not poly-hierarchical, then consider making them so.
(eg an article could appear in more than one category)

I'm looking for some software that will allow me to do the following:
alt text http://patrickg.net/lookingfor.png
I don't need anything fancy, just basic information, back and forth dated comments, etc. No payment integration, or file handling.
Thought I'd ask before I write my own
Good luck with that - but from what I've seen, most of the stuff out there have x100 more features, and an appropriate learning curve. I don't know if you can find something with the exact features you've asked.
What's the problem with rolling your own, though? As long as you use a framework, isn't it just a couple days' work (maybe even a day)? Learning/using a full-fledged CMS might take more time.
This may be overkill, but you may want to take a look at SugarCRM
