PHP chat room server

[Bit byte]

I'm looking for a chatroom server - one that has an API, so I can use a
non-web GUI. All searches on Google have yielded the wrong stuff. Any
pointers?

Do you mean like MSN? Why do you need a non-web GUI?

Oops - pushed the button too quickly.

I doubt you're going to find much with an API written in PHP. And I've never
seen a PHP chatroom server that isn't web based.

It could be done, I guess. But I'm not sure it would be worth the trouble. And
you'd still need some type of client - either a browser or another program (like
MSN does).

Hi Jerry, thanks for the info. Actually, I wanted an API so that I could
integrate it more into my app. Howvere, actually some of the GUIs out
there are not too bad (I've just found) - i.e. the 'skinnable' ones

There are PHP interfaces for jabber and irc. Or were you looking for offline
tools? NNTP?
