    $ircChannel = "#phpmybittorrent"; #sSet your IRC Channel
    $output = $string;
    set_time_limit(0);
    #connect to server
    $socket = fsockopen($ircServer, $ircPort, $errno, $errstr);
    if($socket)
    {
        // Make the socket blocking and set the read/write timeout to 10 seconds.
            stream_set_blocking($socket, true);
            stream_set_timeout($socket, 10);
        // Get machine's hostname (UNIX only)
            $local_hostname = trim(@file_get_contents("/etc/hostname"));
            if (!$local_hostname) $local_hostname = "localhost"; // Non-UNIX OSes
        // Log in.
            fwrite($socket, "NICK Rawr" . rand() . "\n");
            fwrite($socket, "USER BT.Manager-bot {$local_hostname} {$ircServer} :PhpIrc Bot 0.0.2\n");
            $cmd = '';
            $i=0;
            while($i < 15)
            {    
            // Read data from socket.
                $data = fread($socket, 1024);
                $cmd .= $data;
                if (strpos($cmd, "\n") === false) continue;
                $exData = explode(' ', $data);
