How to Get Yahoo! Messenger Status using PHP
Posted By: zainal on June, 20 2011
Yahoo Messenger is a popular chat application that has been used by million people around the world. Here I provide simple PHP class you can to put on your website to indicate if you or your friend are online or offline on Yahoo! Messenger.
function ym($id){
$url = ‘http://opi.yahoo.com/online?u=’;
$data = file_get_contents($url . $id);
if (trim(strtolower(strip_tags($data))) != ‘user not specified.’) {
return (strlen($data) == 140) ? ‘online’ : ‘offline’;
} else {
return trim(strip_tags($data));
}
}
To use the class, just echo your yahoo id by using this code:
echo ym("yahoo_id"); //change your yahoo id here
