ircg_pconnect --  Connect to an IRC server

Description

resource ircg_pconnect ( string username [, string server_ip [, int server_port [, string msg_format [, array ctcp_messages [, array user_settings]]]]])

ircg_pconnect() will try to establish a connection to an IRC server and return a connection resource handle for further use.

The only mandatory parameter is username, this will set your initial nickname on the server. server_ip and server_port are optional and default to 127.0.0.1 and 6667.

Note: For now parameter server_ip will not do any hostname lookups and will only accept IP addresses in numerical form.

Currently ircg_pconnect() always returns a valid handle, even if the connection failed.

You can customize the output of IRC messages and events by selection a format string set previously created with ircg_register_format_messages() by specifing the sets name in msg_format.
