    PHP chat room server

    I'm looking for a chatroom server - one that has an API, so I can use a
    non-web GUI. All searches on Google have yielded the wrong stuff. Any
    pointers?

    Do you mean like MSN? Why do you need a non-web GUI?

      Oops - pushed the button too quickly.

      I doubt you're going to find much with an API written in PHP. And I've never
      seen a PHP chatroom server that isn't web based.

      It could be done, I guess. But I'm not sure it would be worth the trouble. And
      you'd still need some type of client - either a browser or another program (like
      MSN does).

        Hi Jerry, thanks for the info. Actually, I wanted an API so that I could
        integrate it more into my app. Howvere, actually some of the GUIs out
        there are not too bad (I've just found) - i.e. the 'skinnable' ones

          There are PHP interfaces for jabber and irc. Or were you looking for offline
          tools? NNTP?

          C.
