Ok lets get started by creating a file called aimstatus.php

Code:

<? // Connect to the AIM server $url = @fsockopen("big.oscar.aol.com", 80, &$errno, &$errstr, 3); // Ask the Server About The User, Make sure to change "USERNAME" to your AIM screen name fputs($url, "GET /USERNAME?on_url=online&off_url=offline HTTP/1.0 "); // Receive The Results while(!feof($url)){ $feofi++; $page .= fread($url,256); if($feofi > 10){ $page = "offline"; break; } } fclose($url); // Determine the Result, And Display It if(strstr($page, "online")){ echo "This User Is Online"; }else{ echo "This User Is Offline"; } ?>

Then just put the following code where you want to display the result:

Code:

<? include("aimstatus.php") ?>

Remember to play around with the script and have fun, for example displaying an image for online/offline status instead of text.
