phergie/phergie-irc-parser

A PHP-based parser for messages conforming to the IRC protocol as described in RFC 1459 and RFC 2812.

Install

The recommended method of installation is through composer.

{
    "require": {
        "phergie/phergie-irc-parser": "~1"
    }
}

Design goals

• Minimal dependencies: PHP 5.4.2+ with the core PCRE extension
• Can extract messages from a real-time data stream
• Simple easy-to-understand API

Usage

<?php
$stream = ":Angel PRIVMSG Wiz :Hello are you receiving this message ?\r\n"
        . "PRIVMSG Angel :yes I'm receiving it !receiving it !'u>(768u+1n) .br\r\n";
$parser = new Phergie\Irc\Parser();

// Get one message without modifying $stream
// or null if no complete message is found
$message = $parser->parse($stream);

// Get one message and remove it from $stream
// or null if no complete message is found
$message = $parser->consume($stream);

// Get all messages without modifying $stream
// or an empty array if no complete messages are found
$messages = $parser->parseAll($stream);

// Get all messages and remove them from $stream
// or an empty array if no complete messages are found
$messages = $parser->consumeAll($stream);

/*
One parsed message looks like this:
array(
    'prefix' => ':Angel',
    'nick' => 'Angel',
    'command' => 'PRIVMSG',
    'params' => array(
        'receivers' => 'Wiz',
        'text' => 'Hello are you receiving this message ?',
        'all' => 'Wiz :Hello are you receiving this message ?',
    ),
    'targets' => array('Wiz'),
    'message' => ":Angel PRIVMSG Wiz :Hello are you receiving this message ?\r\n",
)
*/
