IRC + PHP

[kogeee]

I have this:
$irc_connect=fsockopen("my.irc.server",6667);

fputs($irc_connect, "USER whatever whatever whatever whatever");
fputs($irc_connect, "NICK phpscript_");
fclose($irc_connect);

I guess I must make some kind of Ping/Pong event happen until I can see this script online🙂 Can anyone help me with the next steps? guess I'll learn a lot more once I've understood how to get it online?🙂

IRC's gonna be tough in PHP. It's an asynchronous protocol that requires a continuous open socket connection. Not sure how you would plan to do this in a single script unless you're just pushing out a single message at a time or something.
