Question

I am developing one web application using (PHP JavaScript).
I stuck to one point that I wanted to get my Gmail friend(s) online status.

e.g. I would provide one of my Gmail friend IDs i.e. [e-mail] as input to the API (if such an API is exist) and ultimately I wanted to track whether he is online or offline through normal script (PHP/JavaScript/jQuery/other).

Please folks provide me your necessary pointer(s) in this case. Does such API/library exist in PHP, Java script, jQuery or any other? How do I achieve this?

This is xmpphp, may be can help
http://code.google.com/p/xmpphp/

Use this module with some code like:

<?php
include("xmpp.php");
$conn = new XMPP('talk.google.com', 5222, 'user', 'password', 'xmpphp', 'gmail.com', $printlog=True, $loglevel=LOGGING_INFO);
$conn->connect();
while(!$conn->disconnected) {
    $payloads = $conn->processUntil(array('presence'));
    foreach($payloads as $event) {
        $pl = $event[1];
        print "Presence: {$pl['from']} [{$pl['show']}] {$pl['status']}\n";
    }
}
?>
