libpurple php binding

[Anatoliy Belsky]

Hi there,

so I would present the begin of my work on the libpurple php binding. It's yet 
very rudimentary but I've already realized the nullclient and a little bit 
more. 

The project site can be found on:

	http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpurple

The code itself can be fetched with;

	svn co https://phpurple.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/phpurple phpurple

The further steps would be (don't forget to install the php devel package on 
your system):

cd phpurple
phpize
./configure --enable-purple
make

After this you should have the modules/purple.so file. And you can use it.
Eventually you can run

make install 

if you have root rights and want to install it globally as a php extension 
(but it's not nesessary yet).

than make the file test.php (in the phpurple dir) with the following content:

#!/usr/bin/php
<?php

if(!extension_loaded('purple')) {
        dl('purple.' . PHP_SHLIB_SUFFIX);
}

$ui_id = "hello world";

purple_php_write_conv_function("my_write_conv");
function my_write_conv($conversation, $who, $alias, $message, $flags, $time)
{
        if ($alias) {
                $name = $alias;
        } else if ($who) {
                $name = $who;
        } else {
                $name = NULL;
        }

        if(PURPLE_MESSAGE_RECV == $flags) {
                printf( "(%s) %s %s: %s\n",
                                purple_conversation_get_name($conversation),
                                date("H:i:s", $time),
                                $name,
                                $message
                                );
}

if(!purple_core_init($ui_id)) {
        die("libpurple initialization failed\n");
}

purple_blist_new();
purple_prefs_load();
purple_plugins_load_saved();
purple_pounces_load();

//or some protocol ever supported
$account = purple_account_new("somenick at hotmail.com", "MSN");
purple_account_set_password($account, "somepass");
purple_account_set_enabled($account, $ui_id, true);

purple_savedstatus_new(NULL, PURPLE_STATUS_AVAILABLE);
purple_savedstatus_activate(); 

purple_signal_connect("signed-on");

purple_loop();

?>

Now you should be able to start a conversation from the other side and see the 
outputs in the console. To run the php ( I expect u still in the phpurple 
dir ) run

php -n -d extension_dir=modules  -f test.php 

I've tested and built the whole thing on debian etch with PHP 5.2.0-8

So if someone has tested this, I would hear something, what should be it the 
ext, to can call it something like phpurple1.0 ... may be you see something 
wrong in my c code ... I'll assume any meaning

thanks a lot
