#21824 [Opn]: PHP-Based AIM Bot

ID: 21824 Updated by: pollita@php.net Reported By: thomas@deliduka.com Status: Open Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Operating System: all PHP Version: 4.3.0 New Comment: Speak of the devil, I was just thinking of this on my way home last night (well, ICQ technically, but the idea is the same). The conclusion I came to, and others may feel free to disagree with me, is that such modules are best built as PEAR classes rather than PHP extensions. The fact that you're now mentioning that Perl has it as a PEAR-equivalent style module just bolsters that position. If you feel adventurous, I'd recommend working on the conversion yourself. You've got the basic framework to start from in Perl's Net::AIM module, it simply needs to be built into a PHP class. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-01-22 14:12:35] thomas@deliduka.com Any thoughts on converting the Perl Net::AIM module to PHP? I think it would be great to be able to code an AIM bot in PHP. has this been discussed regarding the possibility of converting the AIM protocols and make it an option for compiling into PHP? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=21824&edit=1
