Quick Example
Here is how a simple send chat message app looks like using Jaxl library:
- Download and extract inside /path/to/jaxl
- Jaxl library provide an event based mechanism exposing hooks like jaxl_post_auth
- Register callback(s) inside your app code for required events (see example below)
- Write your app logic inside callback'd methods
// Include and initialize Jaxl core
require_once '/path/to/jaxl/core/jaxl.class.php';
$jaxl = new JAXL(array(
'user'=>'username',
'pass'=>'password',
'host'=>'talk.google.com',
'domain'=>'gmail.com',
'authType'=>'PLAIN',
'logLevel'=>4
));
// Send message after successful authentication
function postAuth($payload, $jaxl) {
global $argv;
$jaxl->sendMessage($argv[1], $argv[2]);
$jaxl->shutdown();
}
// Register callback on required hook (callback'd method will always receive 2 params)
$jaxl->addPlugin('jaxl_post_auth', 'postAuth');
// Start Jaxl core
$jaxl->startCore('stream');
Run from command line:
php sendMessage.php "anotherUser@gmail.com" "This is a test message"`
