Just finished (largelgy based on an example) a small simple php script to take files from a folder and turn into a podcast feed. Directory to Podcast PHP script.
This may be useful if you want to setup a cron script/server application on a home server to download your latest podcast shows. Using this script you can then reserve the downloaded files as a local podcast feed.
This is useful at home as your server can download at none bandwidth critical times, when your isp applies limits or around 9pm when the internet is going really slow. When your main machine is switched on the podcasts will download very quickly over your local network.

Bash Double Quotes Single Quotes
When working on the command line some scripts/programmers seem to arbitrarily switch between "Double Quotes" and 'Single Quotes'.
The difference in bash at least is
Double quotes evaluate variables inside of them.
Single quotes are a literal string (NO evaluation).
computer ~ $ fred=result
computer ~ $ echo "fred is $fred"
fred is result
computer ~ $ echo 'fred is $fred'
fred is $fred

fred is result
computer ~ $ echo 'fred is $fred'
fred is $fred

Installing phpmyadmin
Installing phpmyadmin for web admin of mysql database.
First install mysql
$sudo apt-get install mysql-server mysql-client php5-mysql
Then install phpmyadmin
$sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin
there is a howto forge document here that gives a fuller explanation.
The correct how to suggests that you include the config file in the main apache2.conf.
Ubuntu/Debian systems have a folder called sites-enabled sites-available in /etc/apache2 .
conf files in these folders are loaded. Generally you will write the .conf files in the available forlder and create soft links to them from the enabled folder. so instead of inlcudeing this line in apache2.conf
Include /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf
I suggest creating a link to it from the enabled folder
ln -s /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/phpmyadmin
If doing it properly you should copy it to the sites-available and link to it there, rather than linking directly to it.
