class.jaiku.php is an PHP5 class that allows for basic interaction with Jaiku. At present the useful functionality is limited to updating your Jaiku presence programmatically.
Jaiku doesn't have a public API yet, so all of the magic is done be sending standard HTTP POSTs to Jaiku.com -- pretending to be a web browser, in other words.
Source Code
You can browse the source code from a browser, or grab the latest version of the source code using Subversion at:
You can grab the latest version of the source code using Subversion at:
svn://svn.reinvented.net/Jaiku/JaikuPHP
or

Sample Usage
require_once("class.jaiku.php"); $j = new Jaiku("username","password"); $j->GetJaikuSession(); $j->UpdatePresence("Updating my presence from PHP!","My City, My Country",'333');
Assuming you have a Jaiku.com account, and you substitute the proper values for "username" and "password," this code should update your Jaiku presence, location and icon: visit Jaiku.com to see if it worked.
Giving the Code a GUI
If you're running OS X, you can use Pashua to wrap a simple GUI around the class (screen shot here). I've included the source code for this; it's easy to modify to suit your application and preferences.
You can run the Pashua-based code from the command line or, if you want to go one step further, use Platypus to convert the script into a bona fide OS X application; here's a screen shot of my settings for doing so:
To get the Jaiku icon in there, I simply cut and paste it from Jaiku.com (for demonstration purposes only; if you build the app for distribution that would probably be a Bad Thing)
Known Issues
There's no error reporting at all, so if it fails, you'll never know.
