Chat Commands

[blackhowk]

// how to set chat commands
// this is a short idea-tutorial
// what it's a command?
// in my opinion chat command it's a way to change one or more settings in the same time with the chat writings
// whay to edit settings in the same way with the chat writings?
// because this is more fast like to go into cpanel or settings and sometime you need to be fast
// for example you may set the theme or the refresh time for chat, send mass message to all buddyes, or to some registered users on site
// personal i use this command for more than that, one example may be: i see where it's each of my buddyes(buddilist)
// or u see who and where it's online and i stay in chat with the m8's

<?php
// define the command
// whay m? choose another command!
$mbc = "/m";

// define a message - this it's a test
// the message it's catched from $_POST @ of chat formular
// this $_POST contain:
// the message + command + space between the message and command
$message = "/m You Smile like a Fox!";

// make all lower 
// whay? because i want all lower - i dont like "ASDFGHhjklRbHSISmmm" chars
$ms = strtolower($message);

// extract the command if exist
$c = substr($message, 0, 2); // return "/m"

// clear message
$cm = substr($message, 3); // return "You Smile like a Fox"
// one more thing: 
// entire $_POST message contains X characters - 
// - count the space between the message and command!

if ($c == $mbc){
// here you put the command
// the command may be:
// insert into mysql,update mysql table,mysql delete, etc
// you may set the lines in chat,refresh,theme,smilies yes or no, etc
    
		
	}else{
// here you make insert into chat with the message - "You Smile like a Fox"
// all users from chat may see the insert
// the insert may be: 
// insert into chat by user the message "You Smile like a Fox"
}
?>
