Restart a connection to an IRC bot - php

Question

My PHP script is always connection (IRC Bot) but say the bot runs into an error and gets disconnected I want it to reconnect to the server.
Right now the bot is running local so I’m able to restart the bot using a bat file but if I host it somewhere how would I initiate a reconnection?
For example my code now is:
<?php
set_time_limit(0);
include 'config.php';
fputs($socket,"USER TFBot TFBot.PugBot TFBot :The TitanFall.Pug Bot\n");
fputs($socket,"NICK $bnick\n");
$commands = array (
"${cmdsym}commands",
"${cmdsym}add",
"${cmdsym}join",
"${cmdsym}last",
"${cmdsym}coms",
"${cmdsym}voip",
"${cmdsym}promote",
"${cmdsym}need",
"${cmdsym}list",
"${cmdsym}pick",
"${cmdsym}remove",
);
while (1) {
while($data=fgets($socket,128)) {
$get = explode(' ', $data);
if (stripos( $get[1], ':Closing' ) !== false) {
echo "Reconnecting in 10 seconds\n";
sleep(10);
passthru("Startbot.bat");
}
if (stripos( $get[1], 'NICK' ) !== false) {
$nick = explode(':',$get[0]);
$nick = explode('!',$nick[1]);
$nick = $nick[0]; //User who entered the command
$nuser = $nick;
$wnuser = preg_replace('/^\\:/','', $get[2]);
$tnuser = rtrim($wnuser);
if (chnickchange("tready.txt",$nuser)) {
fputs($socket,"CNOTICE $tnuser $jchan : Your name was updated from: $nuser to: $tnuser on the PUG List. - $chan.\n");
nickchange("tready.txt",$nuser,$tnuser);
nickchange("pready.txt",$nuser,$tnuser);
nickchange("sready.txt",$nuser,$tnuser);
nickchange("militia.txt",$nuser,$tnuser);
nickchange("imc.txt",$nuser,$tnuser);
nickchange("captains.txt",$nuser,$tnuser);
nickchange("pick.txt",$nuser,$tnuser);
}
}
if (stripos( $get[1], 'QUIT' ) !== false) {
$nick = explode(':',$get[0]);
$nick = explode('!',$nick[1]);
$nick = $nick[0]; //User who entered the command
$partuser = $nick;

Seems like you have passthru enabled.
A simple script would be:
<?PHP
passthru('c:/path/to/file/startbot.bat');
Which you're already doing. This will call the batch file, and restart the script.
Or,
<?PHP
passthru('c:/path/to/php/php c:/path/to/script/script.php');
