$mimes = array(	'hqx'	=>	'application/mac-binhex40',
				'cpt'	=>	'application/mac-compactpro',
				'csv'	=>	array('text/x-comma-separated-values', 'text/comma-separated-values', ...

UPDATE: I just emailed the last invitations today, so there are no more to send.

I have been using Spotify more than a year. And I have 25 Spotify invitations to give away. I read CNN news telling that Spotify is available in the U.S. by invitation only — or for paying customers.

I have created a sharethis_helper for CodeIgniter and you can download from github.

How to use it

1. Download it and place them in your CodeIgniter
2. Open application/helper/sharethis_helper.php and change $sharethis_pub_key =‘Add your key here’; and $services = “facebook, twitter, email, sharethis, gbuzz”;
3. You can find your sharethis publication key at http://sharethis.com
4. To modify, open application/views/welcome_message.php

Here are the code.

application/helpers/sharethis_helper.php

function sharethis()
{   $CI =& get_instance();
    // sharethis public key
    //$sharethis_pub_key = $CI->preference->item('sharethis_pub_key'); // I pull it from DB settings
    // for demo
    $sharethis_pub_key ='Add your key here';
    // sharethis direction
    //$direction = $CI->preference->item('sharethis_direction'); // I pull it from DB settings
    // for demo
    $direction ='vertical';
    if($direction=='vertical'){
        $br = '<br />';
    }  else {
        $br ='';
    }
    // sharethis services
    //$services = $CI->preference->item('sharethis_services'); // Again I pull this from DB
    // for demo
    $services = "facebook, twitter, email, sharethis, gbuzz";
    $services_array = explode(',', $services);
    // sharethis size
    //$size = $CI->preference->item('sharethis_size');
    $size = 'large';
    if($size=='large'){
        $size = '_large';
    }  else {
        $size ='';
    }
    $sharethis ='<div id="sthoverbuttons-background" class="sthoverbuttons-background-l">
<div id="sthoverbuttons-top" class="sthoverbuttons-top-l">&nbsp;</div>
<div id="sthoverbuttons-shade" class="sthoverbuttons-shade-l">&nbsp;</div>
<div id="sthoverbuttons-bottom" class="sthoverbuttons-bottom-l">&nbsp;</div>
</div><div id="sthoverbuttonsMain" class="sthoverbuttonsMain-l">
<div class="sthoverbuttons-label">
<span>Share</span>
</div><div class="sthoverbuttons-chicklets">';
    foreach($services_array as $service){
        $service = trim($service);
        $sharethis .="\n<span  class='st_".$service.$size."' ></span>".$br ;
    }
    $sharethis .= '<script type="text/javascript">var switchTo5x=true;</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://w.sharethis.com/button/buttons.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">stLight.options({publisher:\''.$sharethis_pub_key.'\'});</script></div></div>';
	return $sharethis;
}

And in a view.

// I use this with if ($this->preference->item('sharethis_pub_key')){
// for demo
$sharethis_pub_key = TRUE;
if ($sharethis_pub_key){
    $this->load->helper('sharethis');
    echo '<div id="sthoverbuttons" class="sthoverbuttons-pos-left">';
    echo sharethis();
    echo "</div>";
}
