Does anyone know if there's a way to get a person's AIM profile (if they are online) via PHP, and then display it in a webpage? Any help would be great.
You are going to need to work with some sockets, and going to have to learn a protocol called TOC (or OSCAR... although I dont think OSCAR is fully developed). You are going to have to connect and send some information via the socket and then get the raw data back. This was actually going to be a project of mine but school caught up with me 🙂. Here are some helpers though for the protocol:

Hope that Helps!
