barkster Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 I'm searching for a free chat script that allows users to create a chat session between a user online if that user is available. Is there something like that out there? Not having real good luck finding something simple. I don't need all the bells and whistles. Or if there is a tutorial or something to build my own that would be great. Thanks!

trq Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 To be honest, php probably isn't the best language to build a chat application with. Though it could be done, its not really meant for that kind of client / server interaction.Of course with more people getting into Ajax, I suppose it is quite feasable that you may find a php / ajax solution, but I would think most chat applications would be better suited to a java applet.

roopurt18 Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 ^ Agreed. What he's really trying to say is doing that with PHP will not turn out to be so simple.

barkster Posted September 6, 2006 Author Share Posted September 6, 2006 cool, I just need something very small and thin. Just need to be able to detect when users are online and start a chat session between two users. Any ideas for that. Guess I mentioned php cause all my pages are php and was hoping to use something with php/mysql Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/19819-simple-chat-script/#findComment-86824 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chat Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 i would also like to know of such a simple script. they seem to have these "shout boxes" in many forums... maybe these use such scripts?anyway, for time time being, i'm using IrCQ-Net for my chat needs. you can embed an ircnet flash client into your website quite easily and modify the default chatrooms and room lists and nicknames..etc Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/19819-simple-chat-script/#findComment-87189 Share on other sites More sharing options...
