IRC post bot - No eggdrop

This is the release version of the irc bot - no eggdrop.
Originally created by me, PowerBlade, and distributed by Dymo.
Installer and admin panel created by Dymo.

If you have an older version of this bot, it's enough to replace the irc.php file located inside the archive.

New in this version:

- Made a debug function.
- Added 2 switches in the irc.php file

To enable the debug mode, simply go into the file irc.php and turn
$debugging = FALSE;
into
$debugging = TRUE;
This will write the debug text into the page after you submitted the post. Beware the page will change quickly to go to your post, so you have to press the STOP button on your browser.
The other switch in irc.php is the
$amountOfLines = 6;
If you ever experience it takes forever (30 seconds) to submit the post, and the bot doesn't join the irc channel, then try put this down by 1 (5). If it's still the same, try 1 more down, until it stops.
At this point it should work.

I will from this version make full support on this script.
If you want to recieve support from me, email me on powerblade@mail.dk with the content of the debug mode.

That's all. Hope you people enjoy it.

The text to insert is marked by
/* IRC NOTICE HACK BY POWERBLADE */

/* END IRC NOTICE HACK */

but not in newreply.php.

That's why i uploaded a new version beneath

The reason for not using dde sessions, is because i haven't heard about it.
Im not a hardcore irc user, i was just making this as a request, and i thought i would post it here, so others can get use of it.

Hi,

Great hack, would really love to have this, but why do i get a "Connection refused (111)" error message when I cal irc.php in my browser.

I already contacted my host, they said they dont block anything.

Great

*unlurks for a moment*

I believe you are slightly mistaken about the way DDE works. DDE is basically a set of API function built into mirc, not a server. There would be no way for a php script, on another server, to communicate with mirc (or for php to communicate with mirc at all) to relay these messages.

You could however have the script simply message a user with a small script built into your client of choice. Then that message could be relayed to the chan.

The connection refused is because the port is blocked on the computer it tries to connect to.
This can be because of a firewall or other similar software.
If it's windows xp try see if the built in firewall is disabled, or add the port to the exclude list

I`m lost now
What to put at the last few lines?
Under this.......IRC Notify Bot Identity settings (all settings required):?

Ill keep an eye on this and hope I can get it working!

[zefman]

it is an excellent basis for me. I adapted the code to my needs: to communicate a notification of messages on a P2P soft that integrates a chat like IRC.
the result is not quiter the same that the hack given here but I improved some small things.

of which essentially the pause made before the closing of the socket; I put a sleep () rather than a loop that saturated my server.
thank you for this hack because it helped me well :=)

(sorry for English, thank you to powertranslator lol)

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: phperror_reporting() in /usr/local/plesk/apache/vhosts/world-of-digital.com/httpdocs/forums/admin/ircadmin.php on line 1

i get that error when trying to access the page from the admin section

[PowerBlade]

I looked in the ircadmin.php file and found out the file needs line seperators. And because of that the
<?php
error_reporting(7);

was melted together as <?phperror_reporting()
Simply change it back to the above example, and that should fix your problem.

so if I get error
Connection refused (111)
that means my server is blocking the ports i am trying to use to connect to irc?
