online status?

[Toboe]

Hi,

of course im a noob to php. im trying to figure out a way to write a php page that will query a irc network server by server and show there status IE online/offline and also query users/channels and out put the statistics. and since obviously i have no idea wot im doing i cant seem to do it =/

this is wot i was "flirting" with

<?php
$fp = fsockopen("irchub.3utilities.com", 6667, $errno, $errstr, 9999);
if (!$fp) {
   echo "$errstr ($errno)<br />\n";
} else {
   $out = "GET / HTTP/1.1\r\n";
   $out .= "Host: irchub.3utilities.com\r\n";
   $out .= "Connection: Close\r\n\r\n";

   fwrite($fp, $out);
   while (!feof($fp)) {
       echo fgets($fp, 128);
   }
   fclose($fp);
}
?>

it queries the server but unfortunately it doesnt work to well as it times out with a stupid register error

anyone got any ideas?

Since this is the IRC protocol and not HTTP, you won't be able to issue a simple get command to receive anything. IRC has its own language.
You are being disconnected, because you aren't authenticating yourself with the irc server.
You should have a look at the rfc on IRC at http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1459.html
It is a lot but it covers everything in order to successfully connect and issue queries. You will mostly be looking under "client" sections, and connection registration.
There may also be existing scripts like this for you to look at, I know there are countless irc bots that can log in and send messages/perform functions so things like this have been done.

Hey, i found something like this.
