Unlikely to find them here, because it needs to execute on the client rather than the server (which precludes PHP), and needs to run with privilege to access files on the client (which also precludes javascript). The most common I've seen are ActiveX components.

This is not true. You can grab contacts from MSN simply by taking the credentials and logging in over the protocol (server side). This is how Facebook and other sites do it.Mark Baker wrote:Unlikely to find them here, because it needs to execute on the client rather than the server (which precludes PHP), and needs to run with privilege to access files on the client (which also precludes javascript).

But to answer the OP, I'm not aware of any existing solutions, but there must be some, almost certainly.
You can try grabbing information about the protocol here: http://www.hypothetic.org/docs/msn/
Also, this class might be useful: http://flumpcakes.co.uk/php/msn-messenger
