ircg_pconnect — Connect to an IRC server
Description
ircg_pconnect() will try to establish a connection to an IRC server.
Parameters
- username
-
The initial nickname on the server.
- server_ip
-
The IRC server address.
server_ip must be an IP address in numerical form. DNS lookups are expensive and should be done in the context of IRCG. Default to 127.0.0.1.
- server_port
-
The server port number. Default to 6667.
- msg_format
-
You can customize the output of IRC messages and events by selecting a format message set previously created with ircg_register_format_messages() by specifying the set's name in msg_format .
- ctcp_messages
-
If you want to handle CTCP messages such as ACTION (/me), you need to define a mapping from CTCP type (e.g. ACTION) to a custom format string. Do this by passing an associative array as ctcp_messages . The keys of the array are the CTCP type and the respective value is the format message.
- user_settings
-
You can define "ident", "password", and "realname" tokens which are sent to the IRC server by setting these in this associative array.
- bailout_on_trivial
-
Return Values
Returns a connection resource handle for further use, or FALSE on error.
