chiprivers Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 I would like to set up a very simple chat room for my daughter to use with her friends. I am reasonably competent in PHP and MySQL and was wondering if anybody could suggest a simple way to create a script. The obvious way using what I alredy know would be to have the page auto refresh at regular intervals but I can think of several disadvantages of having the chat updated in this way. Is there an alternative way to update new message without refreshing the whole page? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/66226-chat-script/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
