Jabber is an XML based server (check out www.jabber.org). Currently being
used as an Instant Message Server that is totally open source and able to
communicate with the ICQ, AIM, Yahoo, Jabber (obviously) and MSN chat
networks. I'm planning on setting up my own Jabber server. However, the
really interesting part is that you can use Jabber to send any XML document.
I have plans to use it to publish data from my MySQL database, etc.
A user sends a request from their Jabber client to my Jabber server, which
triggers my PHP script (if a PHP module existed!). The PHP script gathers
the required information from the MySQL database and converts it into Jabber
XML format (the Perl module helps do this) and passes it back to the Jabber
server that sends the data back to the requesting client. However, to do
this you need a module to access the Jabber server. One exists for Perl,
which makes communicating with the Jabber server very easy. I was hoping one
was available for PHP as well...
Thanks
James

What does Jabber do? Somebody who doesn't know Jabber might know some
way to get the same functions with other solutions.
