This is a timer to be build into a bot. Example usage: timer_add('function',1,30,"showfunction();");
This creates the timer named 'function' which executes 'showfunction' function after 30 seconds and then deletes the timer.

timer_add('echo',2,30,"echo('Look I can echo things!');");
This creates the timer named 'echo' which executes "echo('Look I can echo things!');" function every 30 seconds.

When using another socket, don't forget to set: stream_set_blocking($socket,0);

otherwise it won't work.
