How to send Yahoo IM via php script?

Please tell me how can i send an instant message to a Yahoo! Messenger user using PHP. I searched google for this script but couldn't find one.

 

I think no turnkey php scripts to do such kind of things.
impossible,maybe

 

Its not impossible.
I have seen these kinda things when i didn't need those.

 

Took me a half second on Google.

Most sites that you see use instant messaging are using a underlying application (for instance Meebo uses libgaim (now libpurple) and a C application).

PHP might be an okay candidate for a frontend, but it will most likely have to use something else on the backend.

**EDIT**
Assuming you want a persistent connection

 

I am a gonna tell you a better way
far better
Use CURL and connect to http://mm.yahoo.com it's a the WAP browser for mobile cell phones. Very easy , no encryptions,etc
You may also remove the mobile status i think , also you can remove/add friends, create groups, send group messages

 

I have tested this script, doesn't work anymore.

Thanks softgroups!!
I think it's the best way to do it.
