Hi,
since services are a almost-regular server linked to your network, they
know all of the network-relevant information, including /list. Just use
Channel *chan;
for(chan = first_channel(); chan; chan = next_channel()) {
<your code>
}
to get a list of all channels. There are similar commands for users,
registered channels, registered nicks etc. Note that chan->users is a
linked list of all users currently in the channel. Refer to channels.h,
users.h, modules/nickserv/nickserv.h and modules/chanserv/chanserv.h for
more information on structs.
I suggest you have a look at
http://www.luxusbuerg.lu/data/ircservices-luxusbuerg.tgz in
modules/httpd/accesslist.c. This is an example of how to dynamically
include the accesslist of all registered channels into a php-script.
Another example is modules/httpd/banlist.c.
modules/nickserv/dbsynch.c shows how we linked services to the mysql
database. This could also be a possibility, to write all information you
need in constant intervals into a mysql table which you can read with
you php script anytime you want. Choose what fits your needs the best
;-)

Good idea. We're taking the opposite route, only allowing users to
register on irc. We believe that on our network, given the option to
register on the website would create a whole bunch of pointless
never-used nicks that are just used by clueless web users who have no
idea what theyre doing with irc ;-)
We're using our service to fetch certain information that is particular
to the ircd and not services, e.g. output of /list, etc, so if there was
a way to output this too -- i noticed chanserv only keeps a linked list
of *registered* channels, which is the reverse of how our modified
statserv works :)
Anyhow, have fun,
Brain :-)

access lists, passwords) without having to talk to the service itself.
