hey people,

not sure if this can be done using php, but thought I'd ask anyway...

On msn's hotmail, when you log in you get a list of emails and if msn messenger is open, it will display the msn green man next to the contacts that are online with their msn messenger.

Is there a way in which I could create a PHP script that does the same so I can use it on my site to say whether im using msn messenger or not?

any help would be most welcome, even a push in the right direction 🙂

Thanks.

    cheers for that, but looks like their no longer letting people register without an invite :S

    "You are unable to register because you have no invite, there are no more open registrations being accepted and/or your registration reservation has expired."

    Had a bit of trouble navigation that site so not sure if it was on there, but is there not some source code I could use on my own server without having to be a member of their site?

    cheers.

      Gimme your email address and I'll throw an invite your way.

      The way that it works is they you add their bot to your contact list, and the bot is connected to a database, so when you change your login status, the database is changed.

      They have several user APIs so that you can access this data.

      The longer and harder way to go about the problem is to write your own bot in PHP (I did it with a pre-made bot thing before) and have that update your own database. But it's not exactly easy :p

        thanks alot for the invite, ill play around with the web2messenger one and then possibly look into creating my own.

        Thanks for being a big help.
