MSN Website Integration, is it possible?

-LB- · 10-28-2006, 09:11 AM

Hello there!

I was wondering if it's possible to integrate msn into a website and how to come across doing it if it is.

If you dont already understand what I mean, I mean something like ebuddy.com...things along the line of that.

It would be really appreciated if someone could help me here as it's really puzzling me, also if it's easy enough to do, then i'm going to make an msn/wlm messenger site (like mess.be) and i'm open to co-owners/helpers!

Thanks,
Lewis

are you talking about something like meebo?

If you're strictly talking about the likes of msn (or whatever one you're using), this might be what you're talking about.

Yeh, I mean something like meebo that will actually login to the msn messenger network.

Any ideas on any scripts that will help me do this?

That's a PHP MSN messenger class. I don't know if it works.

Wow, Nice link Dan, Thanks.

Just a n00b question, how do I come across using this?

Do I just upload and it should work or are there certain procedures that I must go through before-hand to ensure it works?

sample.php shows how to connect.. other than that, I don't know how to work it. It doesn't have any documentation or help at all.

Hmmmm, I uploaded all files on http://www.ivup.com/msn and i'm still hugely confused...

Can anyone who has ever seen these files before assist me in any way at all?

going by the error generated your server does not have curl installed.

Also looking through the class it seems that each person connected will take up a request to your httpd server. That resource will not be freed UNTIL they close your page. So if they are on for half an hour that resource is unavailable for half an hour. So unless you have control over the server I would not recommend using this.

As well as that you have not changed EMAIL@hotmail.com to your hotmail email and your password has not been edited either,

Also if your server is in safe mode then this will not work.

I never did get this sorted...

Anybody tried it yet?

Dan · 11-04-2006, 04:20 PM

Open sample.php and change the email and password values to your actual MSN sign in. Right now you have it set as EMAIL@hotmail.com. (the default)

If that works, it would be easy to make a form for logging in.

BillyConnite · 11-05-2006, 07:11 PM

I tried it and got the same result, checking to see if I have curl installed now...

chicker · 11-06-2006, 07:24 AM

It worked for me but all the script does is list contacts from your msn, their display names etc. you cannot talk to them via it.

Yes, sample.php would seem to do only that. You would have to figure out the rest yourself, or find some documentation somewhere

.

Can't connect to SSH, so can't say for sure whether i have curl or not :P. Working on it...

BillyConnite you can check if php has been built with curl support by looking at your phpinfo page.

Simply scroll down and you should see a section for curl if it is enabled.
