Shout auto reply torrenttrader 2.06

Ive played around a bit and keep coming up with absolutely nothing, but has anyone seen or does anyone have a suggestion for where i might start this? basically what i want is a bot that picks up certain words put into shout by a user and gives predetermined responses

e.g

if i post in shout

User: hello

shout box would recognize the word "hello" and i would receive an automated response from bot

Bot: how are you

the problem is i dont know how to trigger it to even start

ive got a start on the response though

Code:

$query = "INSERT INTO shoutbox (msgid, user, message, date, userid) VALUES (NULL, 'Bot', 'how are you', '".get_date_time()."', '0')";

any help would be appreciated

place this after the shout query

PHP Code:


		
			
if(strtolower($shout) == "hello")
{
$query = "INSERT INTO shoutbox (msgid, user, message, date, userid) VALUES (NULL, 'Bot', 'how are you', '".get_date_time()."', '0')";
mysql_query($query);
}

(strtolower($shout) doesnt seem to be a valid variable l in TT shoutbox or if it is it is out of my range of limited knowledge lol and that is my main problem is i dont know what i should be calling.

$shout

to what ever TT is using I just took a shot as to what it was
and

PHP Code:


		
			
strtolower()

is php not torrent trader
It changes a text to all lower texts (HeLLo becomes hello)

thanks Joe! ive got it working now, im learning heaps. and i thank you eternally

would there be a way to make that pick up part of the statement? as in if i said "hello everybody" it still picked up "hello" and responded?

yes by using

PHP Code:


		
			
if(preg_match("/hello (.*)/",strtolower($shout),$m))

no the $m becomes an array with the content of (.*) in it

PHP Code:


		
			
if(strtolower($message) == 'hello' OR preg_match("/hello (.*)/",strtolower($message),$m))
