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.

Prefer to use PHP as I'm most familiar with it... will check out xmpphp, thanks.

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...
