Are there any specific PHP functions or libraries that need to be included in bot_class.php to enable IRC command execution?

To enable IRC command execution in bot_class.php, you will need to include the PHP socket functions to establish a connection with the IRC server and send/receive messages. Additionally, you may need to use functions like fwrite() to send commands to the server and fgets() to read responses.

// Include PHP socket functions
include 'socket_functions.php';

// Your bot_class.php code here
// Example usage:
// $socket = openSocket('irc.server.com', 6667);
// sendCommand($socket, 'NICK BotNickname');
// sendCommand($socket, 'USER BotUsername 0 * :BotRealName');
// $response = getResponse($socket);
// closeSocket($socket);
