Receive incoming message to PHP server

[zombozo12]

Hi, I currently have a project that involve XMPP/Jabber to send and receive messages. So, basically, there are 3 platform in my project, and there are; mobile, PHP API, Jabber, and my client's Jabber. And here is how it's work:

1. Users can click a button and send a request to api
2. API receive the request from mobile and compile the request into formatted string
3. API send the formatted string to my client's Jabber using my own Jabber server
4. Then my client's jabber send back the response to my Jabber server
5. Jabber server forwarding the message to API
6. API to mobile

In this list, only no 5 that I having a hard time researching on how to do it. Yesterday I think that I should have a webhook on my API so my Jabber server can send it through webhook. And, days before that I went on search for php xmpp library but most of them are long gone and unmaintained. At this point, I think making a webhook from my API is a OK, but I don't know if it's possible or not. What do you guys think? If you have suggestions or any topic about this that can be discuss, feel free to comment or reply that will be appreciated.

Thank you.

Note:

• Idk the different between webhook and callback api, the point is, I might build it to receive POST request or anything else from ejabberd
• PHP is used because of limited people in my project. I could use other programming language, but not my team. And this is not 1 people project.
