You can code a socket/listening connection in Tc, and load it in eggdrop. Then use PHP's socket abilities to link directly to eggdrop, and thus using your own defined protocol.

At the moment Im making the php script write to a file on the disk. Ive then written a tcl script that reads this file every minute, and outputs what it finds in it.

Id really like to talk to the bot directly, so it outputs the message instantly. I thought about using the telnet facilities, but I think it would be overkill to log in this way each time.

Anyone have any ideas?
