This is a script that was written in PHP and uses cURL. Retrieves names and email addresses from hotmail address book. It does not connect to msn messenger, so the list of contacts is actually longer than what you can get through the messenger.

PHP Import Names and Email Addresses from Hotmail Address Book

(the script for MSN, @msn.com addresses is separate, so if you are testing that make sure you select the MSN script on the demo)

Another PHP script that uses cURL. Retrieves names and email addresses from hotmail address book. It does not connect to msn messenger, so the list of contacts is actually longer than what you can get through the messenger. Works with international ids such as hotmail.co.uk and the like. MSN import contacts script has been added as well.
