  The precursor to this article introduced some background and an overview of the design for the Phergie project as an example of the concepts involved in a PHP IRC bot implementation. This article will go further into the topic of plugins including descriptions of those that are commonly needed to make a bot fully functional as well as the commonly needed core features to support plugin development.

• Reflections on Designing an IRC Bot in PHP, Part 1 (Matthew Turland, 2008-04-07)
  If you've ever perused the internet in search of an article or reference on writing an IRC bot in PHP, you were likely disappointed. Most such documents are outdated to the point that their examples are based on PHP 4 and its socket functions. Few show more than the most trivial of bot implementations and barely touch the tip of the iceberg where the IRC protocol is concerned. This article is intended to help remedy that situation.
