AIM question
Anybody aware of a _working_ PHP library/framework/whatever that will essentially allow you to create an AOL IM bot? Just the ability to send/receive IM's after connecting to AOL... thanks!

If you are running a jabber server, you can communicate on most IM networks. Not sure there are any good PHP clients, but I have used xmpphp with some success (limited tests). Your probably better off with a more suitable language, such as Java.

Don't suppose anybody knows which server to connect to for AOL? I tried xmpp.oscar.aol.com, but it doesn't work... "Could not connect to the Jabber server!" using http://code.blitzaffe.com/pages/phpclas ... ient_52-11...
Re: AIM question
Solved... I just ended up using http://www.bot.im to connect to AIM. I can send & receive messages np.
