Your question is too broad. The answer would be: by learning to program.

By the way, you need something more than just PHP, like JavaScript.

Take a look at Openfire Server.. with the Kraken IM plugin. It will allow you to connect to most IM networks (I think even including facebook/myspace).

If your talking about building one from stracth...holy s*** good luck! That is probably the most expensive thing buildt onto Facebook and if you notice engineers suck at making them work correctly there are entire TEAMS dedicated to that one feature. If you want it though go for it!
