Writing XMPP apps 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

Here is how a simple send chat message app looks like using Jaxl library:

// 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"`
