I have a web site: http://www.sarcastic-bastard.com
and I have a chatroom on an irc server for this site. What I want to do is be able to list who is in the chat room from the front page of my site.
I noticed there is an IRC library for PHP but it seemed to be for running an active IRC session from the web. I don't want to do that. All I want is to take a quick peek at the chatroom to see who's there.
Any idears?
Get IRC chatroom data from php script?

you would have to connect to the irc-server anyway and that for each request. On some irc-networks it takes quite a while.
An irc-bot (the library you found probably is) in your channel providing that kind of information sounds more reasonable.
And think of all those features a bot may provide, e.g. an infobot of some kind
