i want to make my bot do something specifically. i know alittle bit about php but not fully. let me break it down as best i can on what i want it to do.

if someone says HI

i want to make it echo, hi how are you

if someone says good you

i want it to echo wounderful thanks for asking

and so on and so forth

after that it has everything taught the stuff people would ask that it isn't programed i want it to echo sorry, i don't understand, please try again.

what script to i use where i can keep adding peoples responses to the bots echos.

   Here's an example:

   Create a php script called bot.php
   Put it up on a domain, and make sure your bot URL reflects the location of that script.
   Paste this into bot.php:

   <?php

   //convert all messages to lower case

   $msg = strtolower($_REQUEST["msg"]);

   switch($msg)
   {

       case "hi":
               echo "Hi, how are you?";
       break;
       case "Good you?":
               echo "Wonderful. Thanks for asking.";
      break;
     default:
             echo "sorry, i don't understand, please try again.";
     break;
   

   } ?>

   Ben is right on the money. If afterwards you wanted to add additional possible responses, all you would need to do is add more cases. It's as simple as that.
