(PHP 4 >= 4.0.4)

ircg_pconnect -- Connect to an IRC server

## Description

resource ircg_pconnect ( string username [, string server_ip [, int server_port [, string msg_format [, array ctcp_messages [, array user_settings]]]]])

ircg_pconnect() will try to establish a connection to an IRC server and return a connection resource handle for further use.

The only mandatory parameter is `username`, this will set your initial nickname on the server. `server_ip` and `server_port` are optional and default to `127.0.0.1` and `6667`.

> Note: For now parameter `server_ip` will not do any hostname lookups and will only accept IP addresses in numerical form.

> Currently ircg_pconnect() always returns a valid handle, even if the connection failed.

You can customize the output of IRC messages and events by selection a format string set previously created with ircg_register_format_messages() by specifing the sets name in `msg_format`.

`ctcp_messages`

`user_settings`
