It will manage the connection to the IRC server and has all functions needed to interact with the server. ``` use Jerodev\PhpIrcClient\IrcClient; $client = new IrcClient('irc.server:6667', 'Jerodev'); $client->connect(); ``` ### Connecting to the server [](#-connecting-to-the-server) ``` $client->connect() ``` This function opens the connection to the IRC server. Username has to be set before the connection can be opened. ### Sending commands to the server [](#-sending-commands-to-the-server) ``` $client->send(string $command) ``` Sends a raw IRC command directly to the server. This method should only be used if you really know what you are doing, it is recommended to use the built-in functions below.
