I am new to eggdrop and just have my first bot up and running, I want to be able to run queries in the channel by doing !search <term> which runs a mysql query and the results are msg'd to the user.
I'd also like when an INSERT is done on the db from a php script on webpage then the bot will announce to the channel. I've read some docs on mysql tcl packages but i'm using a commercial shell and I think i would need root access to do this?
httpd,mysql and egg are on same server. Im just looking to know if this is a possible and a point in the general direction.
you don't need root access to install a mysq tcl interface
when you ./configure a mysql api use the --prefix=/path/ option ...
(./configure --help to see all option)
but perhaps it would be better to ask your admin
Thanks for the link, im studying the docs now. In simplest terms I also want to for example have a html text box, when the form is submitted the contents of the box are announced in the channel. I am familiar with php but dont know how/if I could connect to the bot with it, maybe thru telnet?
