(PHP 4 >= 4.0.4, PHP 5 <= 5.0.5)

ircg_msg — Send message to channel or user on server

### Description

bool ircg_msg ( resource `$connection` , string `$recipient` , string `$message` [, bool `$suppress` ] )

ircg_msg() will send the message to a channel or user on the server.

### Parameters

`connection`

  A connection resource handle returned by ircg_pconnect().

`recipient`

  A `recipient` starting with # or & will send the `message` to a channel, anything else will be interpreted as a username.

`message`

  The message to be sent.

`suppress`

  Setting the optional parameter `suppress` to a `TRUE` value will suppress output of your message to your own `connection` . This so-called loopback is necessary, because the IRC server does not echo PRIVMSG commands back to us.

### Return Values

Returns `TRUE` on success or `FALSE` on failure.
