// minor thing .. the reason I mentioned PEAR coding standards is that this

		function ping()
		{	
			if($this->lastping <  time() - 300)
				$this->socket->send('PING bambotoo' . "\n\r");
			if($this->lastping < time() - 500)
				$this->connected = false;
		}

//should be like this - to make it more readable
		function ping()
		{	
			if($this->lastping <  time() - 300){
				$this->socket->send('PING bambotoo' . "\n\r");
                        }
			if($this->lastping < time() - 500){
				$this->connected = false;
                        }
		}
