Sending and Receiving from Website

Post by Pfhreak »

I run a small website, and the users have recently petitioned me to include 'chat.' I accomplished this via a CGI IRC client. (Which works wonderfully.)

I've done a little eggdropping before, but it was fairly basic stuff, mostly in channel things.

Anyways, I'm trying to figure out a way to display the users in the IRC channel on the website. Additionally, I'm considering trying to pull the list of active users on the website from the MYSQL db into the bot -- to be displayed in the channel.

Any suggestions, or scripts I should investigate?

Thanks,

Pfhreak

1) Dont use CGI::IRC, it's banned on some networks and it is a server solution so you would need a higher number of allowed connections from your host (on qnet called "trust"), better use a java applet or something like that to solve the connection problem.

2) publish the IRC users on an html / php page: search the tcl archive

or try writing one yourself with "chanlist #channel"
