[Patch] Use MythTV's PHP bindings to retrieve current recordings

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Here's an initial relatively small change which eliminates one database round 
trip and uses the PHP bindings to retrieve a list of current recordings and 
turn them into Program objects (currently only on the episodes page). Future 
patches will build on this change.

Note that there's something strange in two of the preg_replace calls, 
specifically these lines:
        $watchedEpisodes = preg_replace('/[^\w\d\s]+­/i', '', $watchedEpisodes);
...
        $unwatchedEpisodes = preg_replace('/[^\w\d\s]+­/i', '', $watchedEpisodes);

It doesn't show up in a web browser when you view the patch, but in the 
original episodes.php file that I got from SVN there was a screwy character 
after the + which showed up as a box in ssh to my Linux system, but Scite on 
Windows showed it as a - character. Dunno, but you might take a look at it. If 
it really is supposed to be a - character, you might want to just delete it and 
re-type it.

Thanks Karl.  I'm on a business trip for the next several weeks so won't have 
much time to check this out.  Keep it coming though.  It looks like good stuff.

Do you know what version of mythtv that the php bindings were introduced?

From the ChangeLog notes, it looks like the PHP bindings showed up in 0.25. I 
don't know if you need to worry too much about maintaining compatibility with 
versions before that. You have a good released version that is compatible with 
old versions, but going forward I don't know if it's all that important. In any 
case, the changes that I've made could have logic to work around the lack of 
bindings.

Yeah I don't think I want to waste too much time trying to remain compatible 
with versions too far back.
