Why is that? Old code? Could you please update and fix it? I tried skype and icq - nothing. Skype shows only offline and ICQ shows only online statuses, doesn't matter if the user IS really online/offline. PLEASE, write me an email or post here!

Just use fsockopen() to connect to port 5222 of a domain where there is a Jabber server running. eg: $fp = fsockopen('jabber.org' 5222); use fwrite() to send it the right XML stanzas that will log your friend in and check your status. (Your friend being a jabber account you set up as your friend). If the jabber server supports msn, yahoo transports, you can check your status on that too... An example of the XML stanzas to send is here: http://www.saint-andre.com/jabber/telnet.txt Its actually very simple if you want to write this yourself without using the classes at PHPClasses.org.
