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.

Can anyone please guide me which kind of certifications are available for php and seo? I am a php developer as well as a Lecturer. And i want to teach and guide my students. I know symfony and wordpress. But other then this what kind of certification is in demand in current/future market. I am ready to learn new technology even.
No certifications are or should be needed. As for new tech, node.js is very used right now in the market. If you're a javascript developer and want to learn node.js, you will have a very easy time. Note that node.js is commonly used with nosql databases, such as mongodb, couchdb and quite a few more.
If you haven't tried those technologies, it might be a good time to start learning/using/mastering them. Also, I recommend you start using git if you haven't. You can do wonders with git.
If you work as a front-end developer once in a while, I extremely urge you to get right on Grunt.js, since Grunt is extremely useful for a numerous tasks in front end, and it can at some extent, be used for backend, including some php tasks.
NodeJS website: http://nodejs.org/
mongodb website: http://www.mongodb.org/
couchdb website: http://couchdb.apache.org/
git website: http://git-scm.com/
grunt website: http://gruntjs.com/
I think that's enough for you to get busy for a while. Hope it helps.
Personally I don't think any certification is needed, especially in the programming industry (even for lecturesr). It's more important to show that you have been involved with important projects. Working experience with bigger companies or open-source projects will prove your expertise.
With that being said, there is one from W3C:

Another one is mentioned by Zarazthuzatra, ZCE:

Is there any library that, given a sqlite/mysql/postgres database generates an admin panel to manage data à la Django? I know that some frameworks do this, but I need something indipendent from any other part of the application that relies solely on a given database to work.
I need something end-user oriented, so any sql-based tool (like phpMyAdmin) would not work. Thanks
Thanks.
Here are a couple of suggestions for use with mysql:
http://www.ajaxcrud.com creates an ajax crud interface. The main page provides a good example with code, and there are more advanced examples on the site as well.
There is also http://www.phpscaffold.com/ which you can use to create some skeleton pages if you prefer to have more control.
I have used both of these previously in projects and they work well.
You can check PHP Admin Panel.
It's not free but it's not expensive for what you can do.
How about Adminer Editor? It's pretty cool.

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.

Are there any Open Source online IDE's except for Bespin?
If found some online IDE's like; phpanywhere.net, coderun.com, squadedit.com, codepad.org, but non of them are open source.
Bespin isn't working for me, it could be because I'm a Opera user, but even in Firefox I couldn't get it to work properly. And if there is no other alternative; what about creating a new open source project?
First, if I'm supposed to create an open source project; what would be the best place to host it?
Any of these?
- http://github.com/
- http://code.google.com/hosting/
- http://sourceforge.net/
I went with the github solution.
I'm thinking of creating this with php and the JavaScript framework MooTools.
What would be the best way to build the code editing area on?
html textarea-tag
html iframe-tag
creating an own enging like google did with google docs?
Theres also the html5 option, like Bespin did. But the problem there is that its not working. Also another reason for that I don't want to go for Bespin is that its an dead prosject. As far as I know several of the team members that worked at Bespin now work for other companies.
Also, I'm thinking about building it upon the "Operational transformation" as google did. But should I first create that as an separate Open Source prosject? An Operational transformation javascript implementation for MooTools.
You could help yourself with Codemirror, there are already a few examples written.
Kodingen is no more.
It's now Koding and it's miles away from where Kodingen was. Free VM with root. I think that says enough.

I'm looking to set up a blog.
There are many "what's the best blogging engine?" questions on SO, but none totally focused on code quality.
I have done a lot of work with WordPress, and it's the #1 solution for many cases, no question. Its extendability and versatility are unmatched. But the code base is a mess, it has a huge memory footprint and extending it often isn't fun. Also, the back-end feels extremely slow on slightly older machines and becomes bearable only with Google Gears IMO.
I'm getting less and less comfortable using it.
For that reason, I am looking for recommendations for a PHP-based blogging engine that is
Simple, slim, and minimalistic in build
Has good, structured, clean code, uses PHP5
Has blogging basics: Tags, Categories, Comments
Doesn't have to look good but needs to output good, semantic HTML / CSS so I can customize
Supports some sort of spam control (Captcha and / or Akismet would be nice)
I don't care whether it's database or file based
Optional:
An API would be nice but is not mandatory
Has a plugin system for extensions
Wet dream:
Markdown support
Not sure exactly how many things it knocks off your list but I think Habari is worth a look.
They host a demo you can mess with if you want to check it out quickly.
I would take a look at Vanilla. Mainly it's a forums script, but it also has blogging features.
I has all the things you mentioned. Except is looks good enough:
the entire code is about 500k
it's well structured(MVC and well done), it supports extensions
I'm not sure about tags(for sure they are supported by extensions if not in the core)
looks good, have template mechanism, a few nice themes are available
there are extensions to prevent spam, I don't know if an aksimet extension is available.
it's mysql based
Optional:
- don't know what you mean by apis
- plugins and themes supported
Wet dream should be supported, at least in theory(on my old vanilla forum it worked in a manner I didn't want to, the code was html encoded, so html tags were not supported, including links, however i've seen them working on other forums), if not extensions could solve the problem.
Regarding the spam control and user comments posting you should use 2-3 plugins(Yes plugins are supported and are called Extensions).
There's a huge number of blogging engines written in PHP - all slightly different. For my purposes, I found Serendipity to be the most apposite.
