I have made an IRC bot running on the MinTTY terminal emu and it is programmed in php. How would I close the connection between the server and bot? I've done it on my web version but this is a little different on MinTTY... Could I just use fclose($start); ? Thanks in advance. P.S; Below is a code snippet of how the bot connects:

$socket = fsockopen("$server", $port); fputs($socket,"USER $nick $nick $nick $nick :$nick\n"); fputs($socket,"NICK $nick\n"); fputs($socket,"JOIN ".$chan."\n");

Please add some details to your question; as of now, it is too broad. – Timtech Feb 23 '14 at 19:54
Details such as what, all I need to know is how to kill the connection. – user3344223 Feb 23 '14 at 19:54
details like how the connection was opened in the first place (relevant php code) – CrayonViolent Feb 23 '14 at 20:04
Done, added how the bot connects. – user3344223 Feb 23 '14 at 20:11
Sending `QUIT` should cause the server to hang up, no? – tripleee Feb 23 '14 at 21:57
Why not just calling `fclose` like usual? As you seem to know that this usually works, why shouldn't it in this case? – Johannes H. Feb 24 '14 at 01:36
Oh okay, I'll try fclose, but how would I close the connection traditionally in IRC? – user3344223 Feb 25 '14 at 02:44
FCLose does not work nor does doing `fputs($socket, "QUIT"); – user3344223 Mar 04 '14 at 04:30
