Getting onto efnet can be a bit difficult without identd but servers worth trying are irc.ef.net, irc.lightning.net and irc.homelien.org, there maybe others detailed at www.efnet.org in your locallity so try there too. If you are interested in talking about development of PHP then its probably best to goto the efnet channel as quite a few members of the dev team are there. If you want to talk about general php coding etc take your pick.. HTH James
