how does hi5 do that thing that imports your web based address book contact emails?? is it php?

Ever registered at hi5 or sms.ac?? on registration they somehow import your contacts from your yahoo,hotmail,gmail etc address book....how do they do that?? i'm guessing it's php plus something kind of scripting...really,how do they do that?
