Summary
=======

[](#summary)

Before creating this repository, I've evaluated following XMPP libraries for PHP:

- [Nikita's fork](https://github.com/nikita2206/Xmpp), which was based on [Alexander's code](https://github.com/alexmace/Xmpp).
- [XMPPHP](https://code.google.com/p/xmpphp). There is a better fork made by [Charles](https://github.com/charlycoste/xmpphp).
- [JAXL](https://github.com/jaxl/JAXL).

Unfortunately, none of above ships with what I need. That's the reason I'm creating this repository based on Nikita's work.

Features
========

[](#features)

- Following features were shipped already from [Nikita's fork](https://github.com/nikita2206/Xmpp):
    - Connects to and authenticates (using DIGEST-MD5) against XMPP servers (tested against Openfire and jabberd2)
    - Supports SSL/TLS connections
    - Allows joining of MUC rooms
    - Sends messages to individuals and MUC rooms.
- Following features are added by me, plus various refactoring, etc:
    - Connects to and authenticates using PLAIN.
    - [XEP-0045](http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0045.html) (Multi-User Chat) related implementations, including to create chatroom, destroy chatroom, grant member, revoke member and get member list.

Sample Code
===========

[](#sample-code)

```
use Xmpp\Xep\Xep0045;

$roomId = 'YourHouse';
$userId = 'Tom';

$options = array(
    'username'  => 'your_username',
    'password'  => 'your_password',
    'host'      => 'example.com',
    'ssl'       => false,
    'port'      => 5222,
    'resource'  => uniqid('', true),
    'mucServer' => 'conference.example.com',
);
$xmpp = new Xep0045($options, $logger);

$xmpp->createRoom($roomId);            // Create the room.
$xmpp->grantMember($roomId, $userId);  // Add a member to the room.
$xmpp->getMemberList($roomId);         // Get member list and there should be only one member.
$xmpp->revokeMember($roomId, $userId); // Remove the only member out from the room.
$xmpp->getMemberList($roomId);         // Get member list and there should be nobody in the room.
$xmpp->destroyRoom($roomId);           // Destroy the room.
$xmpp->disconnect();                   // Disconnect from the server. Important for heavy-loaded servers.
```

Known Limitations
=================

[](#known-limitations)

- Only part of [XEP-0045](http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0045.html) (Multi-User Chat) protocol extension have been implemented.
- Although code was refactored/written following [FIG PSR standards](http://www.php-fig.org), it was developped and tested for certain project under certain environment only.
