bots and PHP (Wishlist)
bots and PHP // WishlistkahNov 24, 2001, 3:44pm
some ppl have requested a PHP SDK, but that's not really necesary. I have
written an example of how you can make PHP interact with the SDK, in this case a webform where the user puts in a chat string that a bot will say. you can download it from http://home.no.net/kahbot/phps.zip. it consits of tree files, the PHP script where the user submits a chat string and a VB project (2 files) which contains the bot which the PHP script shells. I have only tested this on Apache 1.3.22 with PHP 4.0.6. Requirements: Win32 webserver with PHP4 installed, PHP Safe Mode OFF. Disk access. VB with AwSdkOcx4 registered. Instructions: Open PHPSayer.vbp in VB, change the cit# and PPW (and location settings if you want to) then compile it as PHPSayer.exe Open phpsayer.php in a text-editor and set the BotPath variable to the path of PHPSayer.exe. example: if PHPSayer.exe is located in C:\AW\Bots\ then put "C:\\AW\\Bots\\". Put the script in your webserver's document area Ok, now you've set everything up, just remains to see if it works :-)) Open the script in a webbrowser, go to the location where the bot is set to appear, specify your nick and the desired chat string, click the "Say" button and wait for the bot to appear :-)) KAH PS. if anybody would like to translate the bot to C++ or Delphi, I'd appreciate it a lot :-)) |
