this script seems all find and dandy but we can NOT send to Offline users. Based on the above messages, this would seem to be a Number One Problem with the script.

Please e-mail me with the solution.

Some updates to the last post, it didn’t format properly:

After sending from the script:
<<< NS CHG 4 NLN
<<< NS XFR 5 SB
>>> NS CHG 4 NLN 0
>>> NS XFR 5 SB 207.46.26.159:1863 CKI 354526828.16034168.884359
The switchboard session is opened, and messages can be sent.

Now, what I discovered is the response to these can get garbled:

>>> NS NOT 340
>>> NS To see your offline messages, get the latest version of Windows Live(TM) Messenger.XFR 5 SB 64.4.37.58:1863 CKI 528727238.18922235.378208
>>> NS CHG 4 NLN 0

Somehow I suspect that this will be a long post…

First I would like to respond to a few of the other comments about receiving 217 even though the contact is online.
The receiving contact must have the sender on their contact list to guarantee to work, OR make sure that “Only people on my Allow List can see my status and send me messages” on Options > Privacy in WLM is disabled. I’d recommend just adding the contact (manually, because this script doesn’t have the functionality to add contacts).

I have been using this class in the project I have been working on over the past year or so, and randomly I kept receiving fputs argument is not a valid stream resource. As the script is in heavy usage, I got a lot of these errors. So finally I added some debugging statements to log all of the protocol messages to file to see where things were breaking. Turns out that MS is adding some unexpected text into the protocol, and the script can’t find what its looking for.
In an ideal situation, here is what is sent in the script
After sending from the script:
<<< NS CHG 4 NLN
<<>> NS CHG 4 NLN 0
>>> NS XFR 5 SB 207.46.26.159:1863 CKI 354526828.16034168.884359
The switchboard session is opened, and messages can be sent.

Now, what I discovered is the response to these can get garbled:

>>> NS NOT 340
>>> NS To see your offline messages, get the latest version of Windows Live(TM) Messenger.XFR 5 SB 64.4.37.58:1863 CKI 528727238.18922235.378208
>>> NS CHG 4 NLN 0

What happened here is a NOT is sent from the server (in this case, string length of 340) with a notification sent on the following line. Immediately following the Notification, on THE SAME LINE, was either the responding CHG or XFR from the NS. The result in the code is the _process_data function does not find the XFR and sits idle until timing out.

Here’s my solution. In the _process_data function’s switch statement, add in a new case. Most of the code is just repeated from _read, except the notification string is truncated. Hopefully this code won’t look horrible after posting

case ‘NOT’:
$data = substr(fgets($this->_sockets['NS'], 1024), $params[1], -2);
$r = $this->_process_data($data);
while (!feof($this->_sockets['NS']) && !$r)
{
$data = fgets($this->_sockets[$socket], 1024);
if (!$data)
{
continue;
}
$data = substr($data, 0, -2);
$r = $this->_process_data($data);
if ($r)
{
return;
}
}
return(true);
break;
