Login into yahoo messenger and send im

Hello guys
I need some help in a project.
I want to make a simple, Web based IM system for my page.
I don't want to post my Yahoo Messenger ID but I want to receive messages from visitors. For this I have to build a script that logs into the Yahoo Messenger service, sends me an message then disconnects.
I've studied the YMSG16 protocol (carbonize.co.uk/ymsg16.html) and found some vb examples on google, but I have problems implementing into PHP.
I know I have to use fsockopen to send signals to the Yahoo server but I don't see how can I do that. I think I'm able to login using the procedures found here: carbonize.co.uk/ymsg16.html but how do I send a IM ?

I found this class: http://www.phpclasses.org/browse/package/3373.html but it uses e-messenger, recently known as e-buddy, and it's pretty old. Unfortunately is not working anymore.
I'm sure it's possible to build such thing. http://ankitjain.in/sendim/ the guy sells it for 50 euros but I don't have that kind of money.

Thanks

  • Yahoo! Messenger no longer has an API that is available, so there may be some issues around changes with the core architecture of the service calls. What I would suggest would be to take a look at libpurple: http://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/WhatIsLibpurple . This may be one way to integrate message elements into a site.

  • There's an API for Messenger now. Try http://developer.yahoo.com/messenger for documentation.

    You might look into our Messenger forum here too for help.
