IRC Bot

[OUTLAW3D]

Ok, so I am making an IRC bot in PHP and I want it to perform an action like /me slaps you but I can't get it to work. A friend said to do this:

 

fputs($socket, "PRIVMSG ".$ex[2]." :\001ACTION".$ex[4]." :\001\r\n");

 

That doesn't work though. I want the bot to accept a name and then perform an action like I say "!slap that_guy" and the bot will say "bot slaps that_guy".

 

Here is my source so far:

 

<?php

set_time_limit(0);

$socket = fsockopen("irc.thedefaced.org", 6667);

fputs($socket, "USER mini-me dark-coders.co.uk MM :mini-me\n");
fputs($socket, "NICK mini-me\n");

fputs($socket, "JOIN #Dark-Coders\n");

while(1)
{
    while($data = fgets($socket, 128))
{
    echo nl2br($data);
	flush();

	$ex = explode(' ', $data);

	if($ex[0] == "PING")
	{
	    fputs($socket, "PONG ".$ex[1]."\n");
	}

	$command = str_replace(array(chr(10), chr(13)), '', $ex[3]);
	if($command == ":!quit")
	{
	    fputs($socket, "PRIVMSG ".$ex[2]." :Later guys!\n");
		die();
	}

	$md5 = md5($ex[4]);
	if($command == ":!md5")
	{
	    fputs($socket, "PRIVMSG ".$ex[2]." :$md5\n");
	}

	$say = $ex[4];
	if($command == ":!say")
	{
	    fputs($socket, "PRIVMSG ".$ex[2]." :$say\n");
	}
}
}
?>

 

If you understand what I'm asking, do you think you could help me out?
