Hey all you budding script developers!

I was wondering if any of you would be interested in making a script that executes a php file on a remote site every time I either sign in and/or come out of offline status.

I don't need a flashy GUI, just a place to put the URLs in a variable list or array in the code is fine. Oh, and I might need to use more than one URL, so adding it to an array sounds like a good option.

good idea

I felt bad that noone made it for you yet, so I made a quick thingy

code:

---

var xmlhttp;

var linkarr = new Array();

//Here we fill the array with the addresses we will be "pinging", just add more .push statements to add more servers.
linkarr.push("http://www.testserver.com/ping.php");
linkarr.push("http://www.testserver2.com/ping2.php");

function OnEvent_Initialize(MessengerStart)
{
  //Create the XMLHTTP object we will be re-using the entire time the script runs.
  xmlhttp = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XmlHttp");
}

function OnEvent_Uninitialize(MessengerExit)
{
  //Delete the XMLHTTP Object, not really necassary as the Garabage Collector will clean it up too.
  delete xmlhttp;
}

function OnEvent_Signin(Email)
{
  //Status Change is not called when we sign in so here's a seperate function to ping when we sign in.
  //The three means "Online", see Scripting Docs for full explanation of statusCodes.
  ping(3);
}

function OnEvent_MyStatusChange(NewStatus)
{
  //Ping the server and send the new status too.
  ping(NewStatus);
}

function ping(NewStatus)
{
  //Here we will be sending the actual pings.
  var link;
  //Create a so called foreach loop to loop trough all the servers in the array.
  for (link in linkarr)
  {
    //Debug.Trace("  linkarr::linkarr[" + link + "] = "  +linkarr[link]);
    //Debug.Trace("  param::" + "?email=" + Messenger.myEmail + "&NewStatus=" + NewStatus);
    //Open a connection to the server.
    xmlhttp.open("GET", linkarr[link] + "?email=" + Messenger.myEmail + "&NewStatus=" + NewStatus, true);
    //Send nothing, this just creates the actual connection to the server and the params are send as GET params.
    xmlhttp.send();
  }
}

WDZ, code coloring please

Thanks ezra! I was thinking all statuses except for 2 - offline instead of just online status. I don't need to send status or username or whatever, just need to run the script

Changed the parts below to remove sending the statuses and email address to the server. Now it's just a "ping"

code:

---

function OnEvent_Signin(Email)
{
  //Status Change is not called when we sign in so here's a seperate function to ping when we sign in.
  //Removed sending the status, just a ping is good.
  ping();
}

function OnEvent_MyStatusChange(NewStatus)
{
  //Ping the server.
  ping();
}

function ping()
{
  //Here we will be sending the actual pings.
  var link;
  //Create a so called foreach loop to loop trough all the servers in the array.
  for (link in linkarr)
  {
    //Debug.Trace("  linkarr::linkarr[" + link + "] = "  +linkarr[link]);
      //Open a connection to the server.
    xmlhttp.open("GET", linkarr[link], true);
    //Send nothing, this just creates the actual connection to the server and the params are send as GET params.
    xmlhttp.send();
  }
}
