I wish to send a message to XMPP based chat servers using php. I am using JAXL, which seems the best (of limited) options for pure PHP server based chat.
However, I have yet to establish any connect, let alone send a message. I am having a hard time working out if the problem is my code, my server (which is shared server, but has Cpanel, and a very helpfull host), or my settings.
The code I am using to try to connect to GTalk is;
$client = new JAXL(array(
'jid' => 'name@gmail.com',
'pass' => 'password',
'host'=> 'talk.google.com',
'port'=> 5222,
'domain'=> 'gmail.com', //unsure if this is the right setting.
'force_tls' => true,
'auth_type' => @$argv[3] ? $argv[3] : 'PLAIN',
));
//
// required XEP's
//
$client->require_xep(array(
'0199' // XMPP Ping
));
//
// add necessary event callbacks here
//
$client->add_cb('on_auth_success', function() {
global $client;
_info("got on_auth_success cb, jid ".$client->full_jid->to_string());
// fetch roster list
$client->get_roster();
// fetch vcard
$client->get_vcard();
// set status
$client->set_status("available!", "dnd", 10);
});
$client->add_cb('on_connect_error', function() {
echo 'Connect Error';
});
$client->add_cb('on_auth_failure', function() {
echo 'Auth Error';
});
$client->add_cb('on_auth_success', function() {
global $client;
echo 'connected';
$client->send_chat_msg('test2@domain.com', 'webtest');
$client->shutdown();
});
//
// finally start configured xmpp stream
//
$client->start(array(
'--with-debug-shell' => true,
'--with-unix-sock' => true
));
echo "done
";
Triggering the php (from a browser) then results in the server getting stuck. (no "done" message, just constant loading till a timeout from the browser)
The server logs show;
strict mode enabled, adding exception handlers. Set 'strict'=>TRUE inside JAXL config to disable this[0m
error handler called with 8, Undefined index: priv_dir,
And then lots of;
unable to connect tcp://talk.google.com:5222 with error no: 110, error str: Connection timed out
So I would appreciate help with any of the following;
- Any specific problems with my code
- Any issues with the gtalk connection settings at the start
- Alternative recommendations to investigate this issue.
- Or any general advice from people that have successfully used JAXL.
Thanks, Thomas Wrobel
