New open source PHP Bitcoin bot - For retreiving market/currency data ...

[mr-sk]

Hey,

Thought you all might like to get ahold of this open source PHP bot I've created. It currently fetches ticker data from MtGox and currency data from Bitcoincharts.
It also allows you to set alerts, so when the price hits a certain point you'll be notified.

Its still pretty basic, but I plan on adding a lot of additional functionality in the coming weeks.
Enjoy: https://github.com/mr-sk/Botcoin

If nothing else, code is commented and well structure so I think it servers as a good starting point for building your own bots.
Current functionality:

Supported public commands:
!help Display the help menu.
!currency Display weighted currency values.
!ticker Display

Supported private commands:
!join Join the pre-set channel.
!shutdown Quit IRC / leave the server.
!part Leave the channel, stay connected to server.

Various minor updates committed for those following.

Decent update, v0.2.

Includes a !trading command that pulls mtGox data and computes some EOD volume and pricing, along with total $USD value.
This will become less accurate as mtGox trims the API data, so depending on when you make the request, you may see very low volume even though you know otherwise, such as 12:01AM.

Also added a way to reset alerts and see all current alerts.
Enjoy!
