Ok I need some help - I'm trying to think of how to do this, but I can't - (Once I know 'how' to do it, I should be able to code most of it myself, it's just working out what is the best way of doing it)
What will happen: A user can /msg mybot login user pass
The bot then checks the username and password against a mysql database (this bit I've done fine) - if user/pass dont' match obviously it does nothing.
However, if the user + pass is accepted, I want the bot to add that person (the guy who logged in) to a user list.
When another proc is called, I want it to message every one who is in the user list.
when the person leaves a specific channel they get removed from the user list - if they change names it keeps them on the user list (but obviously with a new name so it'll need to be changed).
I'm not sure what would be the best way of doing this - with an array? A database table? A file?
Also, but the bit about getting the bot to message every one who is logged in.. not sure about that bit either.
Any help / ideas offered for this are much appreciated.
Thanks,
- shanks
