What is this?

Net_SmartIRC is a PHP package that helps you communicate with IRC networks in whatever way you might need, whether in a CLI program or as part of a web page. It's also well suited for bot development.

Goals

  • To be a fast and full-featured way to interface your PHP code with IRC networks.
  • To provide a concise, easy-to-use module API to make it do exactly what you want.

Future plans

This package was originally written for PHP 4 (and the code shows it). My aim is to fix all submitted bugs, update the code structure as much as I can without breaking backward compatibility, implement whatever new features are fairly simple to add, and update the documentation and examples. This package will likely be used as a starting point for a new IRC library that uses better OO principles and is even easier to use. -- Garrett W., current maintainer
