I did a little searching and found a class that do this: http://www.phpclasses.org/package/1568-PHP-Get-the-online-status-of-a-Yahoo-messenger-user.html

 

Reading the code, the critical line is

<?php
$yahoo_user = 'someusername';
$x = file_get_contents("http://opi.yahoo.com/online?u=$yahoo_user&m=t");
?>

$x should then contain a string:

username is ONLINE

or

username is NOT ONLINE

 

If you change the "&m=t" to "&m=1&t=1" the returned string is "01" for online and "00" for offline.

If they're set to appear as invisible they don't want to appear as online.. I doubt that Yahoo! is going to give you any way to check if they're only invisible and not offline, that would completely void the purpose of the invisible status in the first place.

Yahoo dosnt give supoprt in that lol...

but there are soo many sites that track your real statuts and say if you are on invisible or not

just google Yahoo Invisible and you will see the LOTS Of sites that do that lol

I have been searching and most of the sites that show the invisible status claim they are using a bug in the Yahoo Messenger protocol to get it. If Yahoo ever fixes that bug, any code that uses it will break.
