I'm pretty sure you'd have to make an extension or something. Though I don't know how, I recommend you just get an irc bot that does this.

will a bot run in php remotely on a server?

thanks

No, get a bot to run on irc, then save whatever you want to the server. Use PHP to do whatever you want to the text file. That's how TF does it.

PHP IRC Bots can be done using sockets, but I'm not at liberty to share any code - both vexx and evilbot (evil genius wrote this, he can answer questions on this subject better then me) code isnt being released. Still, look up sockets + irc protocol and go for it.

there are alot of tut's around that hive you a basic idea on how to do it. I made one a while ago never finished it tho, connected to a channel got the text and added it to a db.

if your host has irc functions enabled it shouldn't be to hard to do.

Would show u my code but i don't think it would be of any help since i wrote it when i started php, very crappy

irc functions? As far as I know, there are no "IRC" functions... you gotta use sockets.

whatdyaknow, I'm wrong. However, the extension gateway isnt real universal - its far from a commonly installed extension and it doesnt work on all servers. You're better off using sockets, it'll work on more servers and they're funner.

how could i use sockets

Ares, Vexx is in TCL, not PHP. and EvilBot was renamed NuBot (since it will be released on nuphp.com) and now support modules (wee).

Dont ask me for the source of it, i wont give it.
Just search google for "irc protocol", and use sockets (either real sockets or fsock) to "talk" with the server.

I said the code wasnt being released

sockets = php.net.

modules are fun... im running through ideas for my irc bot. I also need to figure out if i can host an irc network/chan so i can test on my own server - I dont have internet access on my php machine.
