PHP Error

Callum_Dawson · 12-Oct-2009, 12:29 PM #1

I came across this site which contains a load of PHP templates to use. I wanted this IRC bot script so I downloaded it. I installed it properly to my web server but I just get a time out error. Detailed info below:

The PHP code:

Code:

<!-- This Script is from www.hawkee.com, found at www.phpfreecode.com-->
<?
function phpbot($server, $port, $user, $nick, $realname, $channel) {
  $sockname = fsockopen($server, $port, $errno, $errstr) or exit("$errno $errstr");
  $repeat = "0";
  while ($sockread = fgets($sockname, 512)) {
    $sockread = explode(" ", $sockread);
    if (!$repeat) {
      fputs($sockname, "USER $user x x :$realname\n");
      fputs($sockname, "NICK $nick\n");
    }
    if ($sockread[0] == "PING") {
      fputs($sockname, "PONG :$sockread[1]\n");
    }
    if ($sockread[1] == "001") {
      fputs($sockname, "JOIN $channel\n");
    }
    if (fnmatch("43?", $sockread[1])) {
      fputs($sockname, "NICK $nick".str_repeat(mt_rand(0, 9), 3)."\n");
    }
    $repeat++;
  }
}
?>
<html>
<center>
<input type="button" onclick="<?=phpbot("irc.gtanet.com","6667","phpbot","phpbot","phpbot","#sanl");?>" value="Connect"/>
</center>
</html>
<br><font face="Tahoma"><a target="_blank" href="http://www.phpfreecode.com/"><span style="font-size: 8pt; text-decoration: none">PHP Free Code</span></a></font>

And the Error when going to page:

Code:

<input type="button" onclick="
Warning: fsockopen() [function.fsockopen]: unable to connect to irc.gtanet.com:6667 (Connection timed out) in /home/liquidga/public_html/development/callum/SANL/public_html/IRC.php on line 5

Callum,

Many, many web hosts block access to IRC and their associated ports. IRC bots take quite a toll on it, and therefore web hosts attempt to prevent this from happening.

You'll often find it's also written in the terms of service; usually with consequences such as closure of your account if you're found to be using one or trying to use one....

You'll be better off contacting your host to ensure you're not in breach of their terms of service and that way, if you're not in breach of them you can double check whether they're allowing access to that port.

Your script, as far as i can see, is working fine.

Regards,
Anthony

Yeah, my first port of call would be to telnet irc.gtanet.com on port 6667 (assuming you've shell access) and see if what's stopping you is in the script or below it.
