ircg_msg

(PHP 4 >= 4.0.4)

ircg_msg --  Send message to channel or user on server

Description

boolean ircg_msg ( resource connection, string recipient, string message [, boolean suppress])

ircg_msg() will send the message to a channel or user on the server connected to by connection. A recipient starting with # or & will send the message to a channel, anything else will be interpreted as a username.

Setting the optional parameter suppress to a TRUE value will suppress output of your message to your own connection. This so-called loopback is necessary, because the IRC server does not echo PRIVMSG commands back to us.
