This hack would actually be quite difficult, as a server as alot of ports blocked with the firewall, so you wouldnt be able to open a socket to the mIRC. The only solution i see is a timer that checks the contents of a file.

on *:SOCKOPEN:forumlist: {
  sockwrite -n $sockname GET /lastest.php?forumid=1 HTTP/1.0
  sockwrite -n $sockname Accept: */*
  sockwrite -n $sockname User-Agent: mIRC
  sockwrite -n $sockname Host: forums.domain.com
  sockwrite -n $sockname $crlf
}

on *:SOCKREAD:forumlist: {
  :read
  sockread %tmp
  tokenize 32 %tmp
  if ($sockbr) {
    if (%tmp != $null) { /write forums.txt %tmp }
    goto read
  }
docheck
}

alias docheck {
var %ltime = $read(forums.txt , 1)
if (%ltime < ($ctime - 60)) {
  msg #channel A new post has been posted by $read(forums.txt, 2) called $read(forums.txt, 3)
}
}

docheck {
  /timer69 60 0 /sockopen forumlist forums.domain.com 80
}

this would do for the miRC side of stuff, I will try and do the php stuff a bit later.
