and i was wondering you uses php in there bots and what do you use it for?

Not to take anything away from juicehunter...  but you can also take a look at Tj's PHP plugin:

thanx for the pointers, but my question is not how to, but more HOW DO you as a bot builder use it to build better bots

shameless bump

i ain't asking for trade secrets.

but as i learn, i will be experimenting.

so i just want an idea of what is possible.

my own 2 cents,since the topic relates to you beginning learning a language,I do not know any PHP

 

if you are starting your first language,javascript for making bots can be very rewarding for web bots,making custom pages,even apps.

 

I do however regret it as javascript is just very difficult,easy to pick up as their are no syntax's but to get good at it, is very very difficult,countless days spent solving what should be easy problems.I havnt really progressed at all since I got to a certain point,still at beginner level.However even just past beginner level gives you a MASSIVE edge for making bots especially with adding some command line Node JS packages.

 

Python on the other hand,is amazingly simple,you can literally read it probably easier than Ubot code,eventhough you know ubot code and have not ever even read Python,it is very well written and makes sense.Not to mention making robots etc with raspberry pi.And you can use python on Ubot.

 

Example here is a script I took for a raspberry pi today,for motion tracking,comparing two images to determine movement,yes it uses an additional library to do the real hard stuff,but look how simple this code is for doing such a complex operation,obviously I cannot write the code,but I can understand it from reading it,I could not do that with Javascript snippets,that can be not half as complex operations
