making a IRC webclient.

[Smo]

Does anyone know how to, or have experience, with making a php + javascript app that would work like an IRC web client? I've seen this done once, but the guy who did it isnt around anymore.

I know there are premade scripts & java applets for this, but I'd like to make it myself, it's good practise.

what I'd like to know is what it requires. and where to begin.

The fact is that you can't connect to IRC using the jaguarPC servers... I made something similar using a mIRC script. The mIRC script on my PC writes all the information about my IRC channel on a file... And then I download that file to my webpage using FTP.

The support team even suspended my script but I explained that I wasn't connecting to IRC directly... So they restored it.

The most important thing that you should solve is, how are you going to get the IRC information, if you're not allowed to connect to the IRC network.

hmm, might have to wait till I change ISP to one that alowes me to host servers on my own comp.

Thanks Julian Muñoz
