Phurple - per se PHPurple

Hey you all (and me too) web developers. The huge important news today is - now we can send IMs from a script running within a web server - isn't it cool? Only one restriction conditioned by libpurple itself is there - use is definitely safe within CGI environment only. The second important news, as you see from the title - the project was renamed to Phurple. Furthermore there are a couple essential changes I was made as refactoring of the code was written so far.

Became interested? Lets look onto most important points in the changelog:

* Project name changed to Phurple for two purposes:
- more flexible code processing of both extension and libpurple stuff
- php license compatibility (no word php in the extension title)
In general your old code should work if you simply replace purple with
phurple case sensitive. The name was suggested on the pidgin mailing list,
i can't remember by who
* libpurple initialization moved from the compile time to the runtime,
exactly - to the CustomPhurpleClient instantiation time
* PhurpleClient::iterate() added
* fixed the bug where a PurpleConversation instance gets overwritten when creating multiple
conversations

The new project page is: http://sourceforge.net/projects/phurple
The new documentation page is: http://phurple.rubay.de/

This week I've promissed someone to write a tutorial about how to create working environment to install and use Phurple, so I'll do it first because it could be also useful to people, who are new to Phurple or PHP. Jump over if you don't need this.

Well, I don't really think I need to write a tutorial in that full, where the things eq. how to install linux come up. There are lots of such the docs on the web, written much better as I even could. I'll presume, the reader already has a Linux (or another Unix) installed. For such of you, who are newbies at all - I recommend to take SuSe or Ubuntu, which should be very easy to install.
Advanced users could take Gentoo or Debian. Note, that I've never had a chance to play with Phurple on FreeBSD or Mac, but this doesn't mean, it couldn't work there. Just try.

On the installed system you need then install PHP >= 5.2 (at least cli) and libpurple and their development packages. If you have some WM installed, it could be logical to install pidgin too, so you can look into the XML and use it's debug console. The easiest way to do this is to use the package manager belongs to your distribution. If you wanna only use Phurple, it should be enough. For those of you, who would try to develop or debug something, I would recommend to install the both PHP and libpurple from scratch - as so you got it much pleasant with debugging. Moreover, you will need some debugger. I'm using valgrind and gdb to debug c code, and xdebug + kcachegrind to debug php code.

While installing PHP, look at this configure options:

BASH:

user@host:~/php-5.2.6$ ./configure --prefix=/usr --host=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu --sysconfdir=/etc \
 --enable-cli --enable-cgi --enable-fastcgi --enable-discard-path --enable-force-cgi-redirect  \
--with-config-file-path=/etc/php/ --with-config-file-scan-dir=/etc/php/ext --with-pear  \
--with-bz2 --with-curl --with-curlwrappers --enable-exif --without-fbsql --without-fdftk  \
--enable-ftp --with-gettext --without-gmp --enable-mbstring --with-mcrypt --without-mhash  \
--without-msql --without-mssql --with-ncurses --with-openssl --with-openssl-dir=/usr  \
--with-pgsql --with-pspell --without-sybase --without-sybase-ct --without-tidy --with-zlib  \
--enable-dba --with-cdb --with-db4 --with-gdbm --with-freetype-dir=/usr --with-t1lib=/usr  \
--disable-gd-jis-conv --with-jpeg-dir=/usr --with-png-dir=/usr --without-xpm-dir --with-gd  \
--with-readline --enable-maintainer-zts --enable-debug --enable-pcntl --enable-sockets  \
--enable-soap --enable-json --enable-xmlreader --enable-xmlwriter --with-xmlrpc --with-xsl \ 
--enable-zip --with-openssl --enable-mbstring --with-iconv --with-sqlite --enable-sqlite-utf8 \ 
--with-mysql --with-pgsql --enable-pdo --with-pdo-mysql --with-pdo-pgsql --with-pdo-sqlite \ 
--enable-zend-multibyte --with-tsrm-pth

This are options I'm using, look at it and adapt to your need. For example change --host or take it out, if you're not on amd64 arch, or add --with-apxs2 to build the apache module, or take out the pgsql options if you aren't using postgres. Get help with

BASH:

user@host:~/php-5.2.6$ ./configure --help

The same way there are the pidgin configure options:

BASH:

user@host:~/pidgin-2.4.3$ ./configure --prefix=/usr --disable-meanwhile --disable-nm \
--disable-consoleui --enable-dbus

There aren't that many options, as with PHP. But, for example, you can disable or enable some plugins or even disable any gui from building. Just get help from the configure script.

Then install just standard debug tools from your distribution. It will be enough for the first time.

At this point you can install Phurple. Download and unpack, while in it's dir run:

BASH:

user@host:~/phurple-0.4.0-alpha$ phpize && ./configure --enable-phurple && make

Now it's quite easy to run the script below as cli:

BASH:

user@host:~/phurple-0.4.0-alpha$ php -n -d extension_dir=.libs test.php

Now, as we've installed the environment, there is also a simple example how to integrate Phurple into the loop to use it within web browser:

PHP:

<?php
 
ob_implicit_flush(true);
if(!extension_loaded('phurple')) {
	dl('phurple.' . PHP_SHLIB_SUFFIX);
}
 
/**
 * @class CustomPhurpleClient
 *
 * The method names are firmly and must be overloaded to work
 * For php <= 5.3 the class name is firmly too
 */
class CustomPhurpleClient extends PhurpleClient
{
 
	private $someVar;
	private $someOtherVar;
 
	private $messageSent;
 
	/**
	 * Initalize internal class stuff
	 * Since we have protected final __construct, the initInternal() is called within the construct instead
	 * @access protected
	 * @return void
	 */
	protected function initInternal()
	{
		$this->someVar = "Hello World";
		$this->someOtherVar = time();
	}
 
	/**

	 * @param object|string $buddy object if the user exists in our blist
	 * @param string $message

	 */
	protected function writeIM($conversation, $buddy, $message, $flags, $time)
	{
		printf(	"(%s) %s %s: %s\n",
			$conversation->getName() ? $conversation->getName() : $buddy->getName(),
			date("H:i:s", $time),
			!$buddy || is_string($buddy) ? $buddy : $buddy->getAlias(),
			$message
			);
	}
 
	/**
	 * This method is called when an account gets signed on
	 * @access protected
	 * @param object $conversation
	 * @return void
	 */
	protected function onSignedOn($connection)
	{
		$account = $connection->getAccount();
 
		if($account->get("auto-login")) {
 
			$buddy = "hello_world@hotmail.com";
 
			$conversation = new PhurpleConversation(PhurpleClient::CONV_TYPE_IM, $account,  $buddy);
			$conversation->sendIM("Hello World");
			$this->messageSent = true;
		}
	}
 
	public function isMessageSent()
	{
		return $this->messageSent;
	}
 
	/**
	 * this method is not inherited from the Client
	 *
	 */
	public function justForFun($param)
	{
		return "just for fun, the param is: $param";
	}
 
	/**
	 * Custom heartbeat method which is called in custom main loop
	 * the glibs main loop is integrated in
	 */
	public function myHeartBeat()
	{
		print "my own heartbeat\n";
	}
 
	/**
	 * Authorize remote users, who was added us to their blist. The method must return true,
	 * if the remote user must be authorized, false otherwise.
	 * @access protected
	 * @param object $account

	 * @param string $message
	 * @param boolean $on_list
	 * @return boolean 
	 */
	protected function authorizeRequest($account, $remote_user, $message, $on_list)
	{
		/**
		 * I'm authorizing all the remote users added me to their blist
		 * and adding them to the account's blist
		 */
		$b = new PhurpleBuddy($account, $remote_user);
		$account->addBuddy($b);
 
		return true;
	}
}
 
try {
 
	$user_dir = "/tmp/phurple-test";
	if(!file_exists($user_dir) || !is_dir($user_dir)) {
		mkdir($user_dir);
	}
	PhurpleClient::setUserDir($user_dir);
 
	PhurpleClient::setDebug(true);
	PhurpleClient::setUiId("TestUI");
 
	$client = CustomPhurpleClient::getInstance();
 
	$client->addAccount("msn://some_nick@hotmail.com:some_password");
 
	$client->connect();
 
	/**
	 * We can't simply break the loop if the message is sent,
	 * because it's going in the queue first and gets sent
	 * a bit later, so lets give the script more $countdown
	 * iterations so that it has a chance to really finish
	 * the job
	 */
	$countdown = 10;
 
	/**
	 * This conains how many seconds the script should sleep
	 * until next iteration. Note, that this brought
	 * really good performance anvantage comparing with
	 * the while(true){} construct.
	 */
	$sleep_time = 1;
 
	while($countdown > 0) {
		/**
		 * Do one glib event loop iteration.
		 */
		$client->iterate();
 
		/**
		 * Run a custom heart beat method cause
		 * no main loop is running. Or run whatever we want.
		 */
		$client->myHeartBeat();
 
		/**
		 * Check if the message is sent to start countdown.
		 */
		if($client->isMessageSent()) {
			$countdown--;
		}
 
		sleep($sleep_time);
	}
 
	exit(0);
 
} catch (Exception $e) {
	echo "[Phurple]: " . $e->getMessage() . "\n";
	die();
}

As one sees, there is no PhurpleClient::runLoop() method used, instead the PhurpleClient::iterate() gets called every second while(true) construction. The only use of the sleep() is that the performance load may become dramatically, if you don't use it. I' highly recommend to use the runLoop() method as cli only, and use iterate() in CGI environment only. If you wanna more info about how the glib's main loop works, take a look here http://library.gnome.org/devel/glib/unstable/glib-The-Main-Event-Loop.html#GMainContext

A one thing comes slowly into my head - I should start to write unit tests for the Phurple. If you are using it and have some code, please send it to me so I include it into the test suite.

If you have some ideas or thoughts concerning Phurple, I would appreciate you to let me know about it.

Have a nice chat

After looking through the documentation and kicking the tires a bit, I see that you can find all the buddies associated with a certain buddy group, but I don't see any way to grab all the groups for a user's buddy list.

Is this feature just not implemented or can you pass the findGroup method an * or something which returns an array of buddygroup objects?

#1 Scott Roach on 2008-09-02 20:55 (Reply)

Scott,

this isn't yet implemented. However, the functionality itself does exist in the libpurple api, which phurple does mirror less or more. So it's just a question of time, when it comes into phurple. For now, you could try to parse the xml directly by hand.

Regards,

Anatoliy

#1.1.1 marinex on 2010-03-29 01:24 (Reply)

Thank you,i sorry about i was not here sooner.
I following your instruction now

Ah, not sure what distro u use, but this like ./phpize && ./configure --enable-phurple && make

should be:
phpize && ./configure --enable-phurple && make

Am i right?

#2 Nam on 2008-09-02 20:56 (Reply)

yes Nam, thank you. ./phpize supposed to be in the same dir, which is wrong

#2.1 Anatoliy Belsky (Homepage) on 2008-09-03 18:50 (Reply)

I have compiled it successfully! And also can see the Phurple modules in the phpinfo.php,but the bad things is that when I web browser the Example.php,It goes to a download window.

When I delete this:
$client = CustomPhurpleClient::getInstance()
and the download window does'n show agian.

Is there somthing wrong?
And how can i solve it?

#3 bruce on 2008-10-04 04:02 (Reply)

I got it in the Command Line way!
Thank you for you great job, Anatoliy!

#3.1 bruce on 2008-10-04 04:31 (Reply)

Hi Bruce,

thanks for trying the stuff.

Could you please let me know, on which apache/php version the bud did happen? Or may be you could debug your apache? It would be very nice ...

anyway, best regards

#3.1.1 Anatoliy Belsky on 2008-10-06 10:36 (Reply)

PHP5.2.6
Apache2.2.9
Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Desktop Edition

build PHP as a mod of Apache

#4 bruce on 2008-10-06 17:40 (Reply)

By the way ,the browser is firefox

Then I see you word:
"Only one restriction conditioned by libpurple itself is there - use is definitely safe within CGI environment only"

I rebuild the PHP as CGI binary

"phpinfo.php" works fine

but "test.php" come to a 500 error:
"Premature end of script headers: php "

Also,
When I delete this:
$client = CustomPhurpleClient::getInstance()
500 Error doesn't show agian.

Please help me again,thanks!

#4.1 bruce on 2008-10-06 19:05 (Reply)

Thanks for providing info about your environment. I think I should do more testing for debian because many bugs reported come from ubuntu users.

Concerning CGI: you should check if a simple hello world script is running normally and your server settings are ok before you start to do something. Or - check file permissions of the script. Or - try to place the php script into the cgi-bin dir and allow server to handle it as cgi.

Btw - there is no need to rebuild the whole php, placing scripts within cgi-bin and instructing server is normally enough. But for this of course a cgi binary is needed )). This way you can use php at the same time as module and as cgi.

best regards

#4.1.1 Anatoliy Belsky on 2008-10-06 19:59 (Reply)

I add this:

# configuration for php phurple module
extension=phurple.so
phurple.custom_plugin_path="/usr/local/lib/purple-2"

to the php.ini of CLI

then use
php test.php
insted of
php -n -d extension_dir=.libs test.php

It just show one word "skip".

I think it doesn't load the phurple module?
and command: php phpinfo.php,I see the Phurple there.

Then I add:

if(class_exists("PhurpleClient")){
echo "PhurpleClient\n";
}

if(class_exists("CustomPhurpleClient")){
echo "CustomPhurpleClient\n";
}

to the test.php

when php test.php,the result is :

PhurpleClient
CustomPhurpleClient
Skip

web Browser it.shows:

PhurpleClient CustomPhurpleClient

I think that is why it can work in the CLI and not the browser!
May be we should change the php.ini or something else?

Best regards!

#4.1.1.1 Bruce on 2008-10-08 08:04 (Reply)

well, if you loading the ext within php.ini and it crashes, there is a debug need. but normally it's the same as invoking:

php -n -d extension_dir=.libs -d extension=phurple.so -f test.php

which works fine.

Could u send to me the valgrind and libpurple debug output? For libpurple just be sure to set PhurpleClient::setDebug(true); in the script. Valgrind could be run as follows for cli:

valgrind --log-file=log php test.php

Are you aware of running php as cgi within apache?

And no, there are no additional php.ini options yet ...

#4.1.1.1.1 Anatoliy Belsky on 2008-10-09 10:42 (Reply)

I solved it now!

remove the line:
extension=phurple.so
phurple.custom_plugin_path="/usr/local/lib/purple-2"

just use the dl();
It's working fine!

Thanks again,Anatoliy!

#4.1.1.1.1.1 Bruce on 2008-10-10 13:57 (Reply)

i use example.php in doc，i can't login. because phurple didn't auto accept the server certificates and save it into this dir : certificates/x509//tls_peers,
then, i copy certificates from ~/home/[user]/.purple/certificates/x509/tls_peers/.
it's work! i can login.

can it auto accept certificates???

#5 hemon on 2008-10-23 19:08 (Reply)

This behavior of the libpurple starts with v2.5 I think. It does not copy certs but still works after a long time of waiting. And this is regarding only certs, which authority can't be confimed.

#5.1 Anatoliy Belsky (Homepage) on 2008-10-25 22:47 (Reply)

I was having the same problem with certificates not getting copied over. I was using libpurple compiled from 2.4.0 and upgraded to 2.5.3, no problems now.

I compiled your extension and got it working. Using regular gmail account for testing I was able to get a message though.

However, when I use my company email (a gmail partner one) that supports google talk it tries to connect to fliptrack.com looking for a chat server instead of talk.google.com.

How should I modify this line to tell libpurple to use talk.google.com instead of fliptrack.com?

$client->addAccount("xmpp://eric@fliptrack.com:password");

I've tried (replaced the actual password with 'password' in this comment:

$client->addAccount("xmpp://eric@fliptrack.com:password@talk.google.com:5223");
but it didn't work: got this error:

I was also wondering if you knew where I could find a list of the protocol names that libpurple supports.

"protocol://email@host:port"
so far I know 'msn' and 'xmpp' are valid names. i'm guessing aim is either 'aim' or 'oscar'?

I tried searching through the libpurple source but no luck yet.

-any help would be much appreciated!
Eric

#9 Ericson on 2008-11-06 01:21 (Reply)

hi there

regarding your first question - the first account gets connected when you add it, i see no binding with second gmail account.

the supported protocols you could get with PhurpleClient::getProtocols(), but this returns only names.

regards

What do you mean by binding?

This is what I'm trying to get to work but doesn't:

Hi Anatoliy,
how to get certificates/x509/tls_peers

my test script not able to send IM. What can be reason for this? it only shows "my heartbeat" from above script. Which OS you suggest for successful testing.

My server info

Libpurple 2.5.2
CentOs
php 5.1.6

Thanks in advance

#13.1.2 Max (Homepage) on 2009-02-03 13:44 (Reply)

hi Max,

you don't need to get certs, but starting with at least 2.5.2 unknown certs must be accepted manually by user. There is no functionality yet to do this with phurple. As i've expierienced, libpurple itself passes after a timeout. Hm, you could try 2.5.4, it was working without timeout for me.

regards

I'm using ubuntu 8.04 and the path is just 'pcre.h' instead of 'pcre/pcrelib/pcre.h'

Edit the phurple.c and re-make.

Hi Abhi ,

I have tried for Gmail,Yahoo,MSN,AIM and MySpace only. I have not tried ICQ messenger. You can pass the username and password for the addaccount method . see the code below:

$client->addAccount("AIM:/username:password");

Don't give full email address. you just give username is enough

ex: abcdef@aol.com

$client->addAccount("AIM:/abcdef:password");

#20.1.1 Balamurugan on 2009-04-20 10:46 (Reply)

Hi,

I am looking to develop a PHP script which sends PMs to Yahoo and MSN IM buddies. I am currently using xampp(Windows XP) to run and test my PHP applications. Once the code base is ready it'll be shifted to the production server which runs on Linux.

While googling I came across Pidgin and PHPurple. I downloaded both the packages and installed Pidgin. Now I am trying to install PHPurple on my system. However there is no dll available in the downloaded package. But there is libpurple.dll present in the root directory of Pidgin.

I read this article to guide me with the installation procedure:
http://phurple.rubay.de/installation.html

In order to user PHPurple, I need to install the phurple extension. I have always used xampp to develop all my web applications, hence this bit is a little tricky me.

I am not sure whether I should copy paste the libpurple.dll in the xampp\php\ext directory and enable it by adding the following line to my php.ini:
extension= libpurple.dll

and then restart my xampp service which should enable me to start working with PHPurple or is there something else I need to do.

Can anyone help me out?

#21 sib on 2009-05-03 12:27 (Reply)

Is there a way to set your status and see the statuses of other users on your buddy list with Phurple? I have Phurple up and running, but I really need to be able to do this. I would really appreciate some help...

#22 Michael (Homepage) on 2009-05-29 07:35 (Reply)

I'd be rather keen on this too.

Only other way I can think of accomplishing this, without an internal callback feature, would be to track the buddy list file using PHP's FAM functionality (http://www.php.net/fam) monitoring changes within the file, then parsing it to a custom function thats perhaps tied into the heartbeat event of this class.

Let me know if you come right.

Then he removed the line #extension=phurple.so in php.ini and it worked fine. Do you have an idea on why php got crashed and for my friend only, not for me?
Also, I would like to understand why we can use Phurple with CGI only.

Hey All!
Any news regarding windows platform?
btw, great great product, I'm a true PHP lover and because of unavailability of some good example/open-source project in PHP for web-based messengers like meebo, I was about to move to Java platform for using http://soashable.com/ suddenly Captain Phurple jumps in and save my life :p problem here is I'm not familiar with linux installation/administration, but coz ov phurple m going to install Ubuntu (as my brother said its much easier)...*sigh* in short, I will love to hear one day if someone can provide windows support for Phurple...

I am using FC12, during make it stops with error pcre.h not found. i have installed all packages via yum. and PCRE. H is located in /usr/include/pcre.h

#31 Ammad on 2010-01-02 03:50 (Reply)

Just open the phurple.c and remove the path on the line including the pcre.h =>
That worked for me.

Hello,

Thanks for understanding...

Hey !
I really needed a php thing that can interact with libpurple and here it is

However i'm having some troubles. I can't figure out how to send messages to a buddy, basically i want to start the conversation.
What i have so far is just a listener. If someone writes to the logged in account I reply with $conv->sendIM and it works. But what do i do if i just want to start the script and send batches of messages to the people in my list at certain intervals ?

Hope this is possible !

I used to get error when starting apache (while trying to load the phurple.so module):
=========
PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php/modules/phurple.so' - /usr/lib/php/modules/phurple.so: undefined symbol: ZVAL_ADDREF in Unknown on line 0
==========
I "fixed" that by commenting out the line containing ZVAL_ADDREF in client.c:
=============
} else {
//ZVAL_ADDREF(PHURPLE_G(phurple_client_obj));
}
===========
Then apache finally loaded the module
My specs:
apache v2.2.16
php v5.3.3
phurple-0.4.1-alpha
Fedora 14

That's probably not a good fix. It'd be great if Anatoliy could get a fix out.
