README

Library for XMPP protocol connections (Jabber) for PHP.

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

PHP >= 5.3.3
psr/log
psr/log-implementation - like monolog/monolog for logging (optional)

INSTALLATION

New to Composer? Read the introduction. Add the following to your composer file:

{
    "require": {
        "fabiang/xmpp": "*"
    }
}

DOCUMENTATION

This library uses an object to hold options:

use Fabiang\Xmpp\Options;
$options = new Options($address);
$options->setUsername($username)
    ->setPassword($password);

The server address must be in the format tcp://myjabber.com:5222.
If the server supports TLS the connection will automatically be encrypted.

You can also pass a PSR-2-compatible object to the options object:

$options->setLogger($logger)

The client manages the connection to the Jabber server and requires the options object:

use Fabiang\Xmpp\Client;
$client = new Client($options);
// optional connect manually
$client->connect();

For sending data you just need to pass a object that implements Fabiang\Xmpp\Protocol\ProtocolImplementationInterface:

use Fabiang\Xmpp\Protocol\Roster;
use Fabiang\Xmpp\Protocol\Presence;
use Fabiang\Xmpp\Protocol\Message;

// fetch roster list; users and their groups
$client->send(new Roster);
// set status to online
$client->send(new Presence);

// send a message to another user
$message = new Message;
$message->setMessage('test')
    ->setTo('nickname@myjabber.com')
$client->send($message);

// join a channel
$channel = new Presence;
$channel->setTo('channelname@conference.myjabber.com')
    ->setNickName('mynick');
$client->send($channel);

// send a message to the above channel
$message = new Message;
$message->setMessage('test')
    ->setTo('channelname@conference.myjabber.com')
    ->setType(Message::TYPE_GROUPCHAT);
$client->send($message);

After all you should disconnect:

$client->disconnect();

DEVELOPING

If you like this library and you want to contribute, make sure the unit-tests and integration tests are running. Composer will help you to install the right version of PHPUnit and Behat.

composer install --dev

After that:

./vendor/bin/phpunit -c tests
./vendor/bin/behat --config=tests/behat.yml --strict

New features should allways tested with Behat.
