JamesThePanda Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Hi I have been thinking about building a chatroom, but not sure mwhat language to build it in. I was thinking a mixture of php and java. what are most chat applications built in? Thanks James Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/140463-whats-the-best-language-to-programm-a-chat-room-in/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Yeah, a mix of php and javascript (ajax) should suffice. Another approach would be to use flash. what are most chat applications built in? I wasn't aware such applications where still in existence.

serverman Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 well if we are talking about chat room handled by browser go with a JavaScript one so many premade ones for you out there but for your own chat room not browser powered go with Vbasic 2008 it has all the nifty tools to make one with you can just drag and drop and your done if you want to lol but can can do alot to your room also. Oh and @ thorpe ppl use them all the time they just arent public any more we also like to use VOip these days (ventrilo is my fav to talk to my friends who needs myspace or facebook lol) Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/140463-whats-the-best-language-to-programm-a-chat-room-in/#findComment-735855 Share on other sites More sharing options...
corbin Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Visual Basic? Call me biased, but I've never been much a fan of Visual Basic. If I were going to write the server side of a chat room in something besides PHP (and, if it were going to be largely used, I would not write it in PHP mosy likely), I would write it in C++ or Java.
