Class.jaiku.php

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.

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.

Known Issues

There's no error reporting at all, so if it fails, you'll never know.
