PHP has a function date where you can specify different ways on how to display the date.  How do you generate current date and display only month and date like ‘September 2010′.  Here is a simple php howto,

function curDate() {
return date("Y-m-d",mktime(date("h")+8, date("i"), date("s"), date("m")  , date("d"), date("Y")));
}
$now = substr(curDate(),0,7);
echo date("F Y", strtotime($now));
?>

The code above will simply output September 2010, a simple code that will surely help you especially when coding PHP from scratch.

For the music lover, a visit to Apple’s iTunes Music Store is an incredible experience. The amount of music available, and the range of styles and artists, is definitely something to behold. And the fact that you can download most of the tracks to your desktop computer or laptop computer (and transfer them to your MP3/MP4 player or iPod) for under a dollar is a bonus.

If you already have a validated Windows Media Player then you can use this software.  Those that are not validate can still use this software as long as you won’t update you OS or even your media player.

Media Player on tray is an alternative of what windows has provided windows xp users which can be found on this link.  Most of windows users work while listening to music, especially when you are working in an office.  Some problems that we encounter is that when opening more than 1 application such as adobe photoshop, MS Excel, MS Word and many more, media player is somewhat bothersome to see on the task bar.  Sometimes we even accidentally close media player and tend to re open it again and reselect the music files again.  As a solution I will provide you a portable application which hides your media player on the tray icon, see image below to have an idea what I am talking about:

A -1 application on the task bar is a big help to office workers and a +1 to productivity.  You will be able to save much time and this helps solve the annoyance of media player on the task bar.You should download the media player on tray here.  It can easily be used, just open media player and set things up the open the application and everything is done for you.

I hope this helps you in your daily work.
