This little command script iterates all sub folders to create an m3u playlist containing mp3 files. The m3u playlist can then be played using winamp.

To create the command script, open a text editor and add the following line.

dir *.mp3 /b /s > "playlist.m3u"

Next save the file as create-playlist.cmd. To execute place the command script in the same folder as the mp3s and double click create-playlist.cmd, this will generate playlist.m3u. Then open playlist.m3u in winamp.

Sound Buttons are a technique used to teach children to read. This function generates the sound buttons for a given word, uing the Jolly Phonics system. This approach breaks each word into the groups of letter sounds, of which there are 42 letter sounds.

/**
 * Generates phonics for a given word.
 * This function uses the Jolly Phonics, synthetic phonics programme.    
 * @param input The input word
 * @return array of phonemes
 */   
function phonomes($input)
{
  // create the output array
  $output = array();
  
  // create the Phoneme arrays
  $phoneme3 = array('ear','igh');
  $phoneme2 = array('ai','ar','ch','ck','ee','er','ie','ng','oa','oi','oo','or','ou','ow','qu','sh','th','ue','ue','ur');
  
  // process the input word
  $word =strtolower($input);
  $word = trim($word);
  $letterCount = strlen($word);
  $index = 0;
  
  // iterate each letter in the word searching for phonemes
  while($index <$letterCount)
  {
    if (in_array(substr($word, $index, 3), $phoneme3))
    {
      // found a three letter phoneme
      $output[] = substr($word,$index, 3);
      $index += 3;
    }
    else if (in_array(substr($word, $index, 2), $phoneme2))
    {
      // found a two letter phoneme
      $output[] = substr($word,$index, 2);
      $index += 2;
    }
    else
    {
      //found a single letter phoneme
      $output[] = substr($word,$index, 1);
      $index++;    
    }   
  }
  return $output;
}

To test the phonomes function use

foreach(array('this','moth','that','three','them','thin','quick','quilt','liquid','squid') as $test)
{
  print "$test = " . implode(' - ', phonomes($test)) . "
";
}

This produces the following output

This function dowloads the html content of a webpage and returns the content as a string.

public static string GetWebPageAsString(string url) {
    HttpWebRequest httpWebRequest =(HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(url);
    HttpWebResponse httpWebResponse = (HttpWebResponse)httpWebRequest.GetResponse();
    Stream stream = httpWebResponse.GetResponseStream();
    StreamReader streamReader = new StreamReader(stream, Encoding.ASCII);
    return streamReader.ReadToEnd();
}

This function will Recursively delete all files and folders.

private void DeleteAllFiles(string sPath)
{
    foreach(string strFile in Directory.GetFiles(sPath))

        File.Delete(strFile);
    }
    foreach (string strDir in Directory.GetDirectories(sPath))
    {
        DeleteAllFiles(strDir);
    }
    Directory.Delete(sPath);
}
