Hey,


Im currently working on a registrar function, but i have a problem, im unable to fetch user data "on the fly", as of now all users who wants to register and are "new" to the bot (never spoken to the bot) have to send the tell 2 times. Cause first time the wrong data is stored. (i use preferences to determine if user should become Member or guest)

What i do atm is call user lookup and update upon every tell as i want the whois table to be up to date every time a user uses the register command.



function command_handler($name, $msg, $type) {

$a = $this -> bot -> core("whois") -> lookup($name, TRUE); //Lets fetch user data every time a user sends a tell. We want user data to be acurate.
if ($this -> bot -> core("whois") -> update($a)) { //Incase we need to add error handling.
//User data fetched.
} else {
//Error fetching user data.
}

return $this -> register_account($name, $msg, $type);
}



Then inside my register_account function i call the lookup once more to fetch the data i should have just updated in the com handler. Please help 


All feedback appreciated

I think the description is fairly telling tbh.
function lookup($name, $noupdate=false)

If you don't know what the boolean switch you are sending does... don't assume it does what you guess it to do.

iow. If you want to lookup someones info  lookup($name);

If you want to lookup someones data, but do not want to cause any delays and can live with not updating the information if it has become stale, lookup($name, TRUE);
