PHP Script that connects to an IRC network

[t0ker]

I'm looking for a script/help to creating a script that connects to an IRC network and gathers the total connections.

I think this should give you some help:
http://ca.php.net/ircg

And perhaps this function would be what you want:
http://ca.php.net/manual/en/function.ircg-list.php

I don't have any experience with IRC, but based on briefly looking at the first example, you'd probably be able to parse the html file for the # before the word users.

Hope that helps,
Sadiq.
