avario Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 I am trying to set up a sort of instant messaging system on a site I am creating. Users submit their messages which are then stored in a database. Other users looking at the page should then be able to see this message as soon as possible. The only way I can make this work is using Ajax to send a request to search for any new messages every 2 seconds or so. Is there a better way of doing this? I just don't think this is very good as for the user's Internet usage and it is barely instant. Thanks if anyone has any ideas... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
