Louise, of unfloopy.net, has released a php script called “PHPCurrently.” Availible at codegrrl.com http://codegrrl.com/scripts/phpcurrently/, phpcurrently is an extensible way to add a “Currently” section on your website. Via a web-based administration interface, and a simply include(); statement, one can maintain as many “currents” as they wish. It shouldn’t be too hard to work in an offline updater to this script, or a way to parse in inbox information, imood (does anyone still use that?), or itunes/winamp songs. I’ve put phpcurrently into use on my own site, and have integrated the admin interfac into my own homebrew blog system’s administration front-end, so it’s relatively easy updating (assuming I remember to do so).

Obviously the script is aimed at personal bloggers, but it’s ripe for expansion, and is fairly extensible, straight out of the box.

Additionally, for those interested in adding winamp playlists to their website (you can see my version of this at MindFyre), there is a winamp plug-in called “do something”. Do something is just what it claims to be. Every time the song changes on winamp, it “does something.” In my case, it updates a mysql database via a “get” post to a php page. Then, my display script reads from the database. Alternatively, you can create an html file on your PC that is then uploaded via FTP. I would suggest doing it my way, as the FTP uploading caused issues with my host’s FTP service. It’s a pretty decent plugin.

Enjoy.
