jaymc Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 I have a livechat system, when someone sends a livechat request, a 2 minute ajax refresher on the other persons page checks the database for livechat requests So, they could actually receive the request withing 3 seconds, but, the maximum will be 2 minutes based on the current interval between refreshes My question is, can it be done kind of the way instant messager programs work When you type a message its sent and recieved instantly. Not sure how it works but the there is obviously some kind of listener, thats open waiting for messages, rather than having to check a master database of messages sent Kind of like how a telephone works, when you ring it it doesnt need to check for people calling every second.. When someone rings it just connects Hope you can understand all that babble Any ideas? May even need to be an applet, know nothing about that but if thats the only way I will research it Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/80778-listen/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaymc Posted December 27, 2007 Author Share Posted December 27, 2007 I have been looking into this and dont seem to be getting much information Its not something widely used. I guess people go for IRC based chat I have heard flash has some kind of socket support, but I cant have the chat based on flash. has to be HMTL output Heard you can just ues the flash socket, not sure if I can tie it in to spit out the HMTL for the chat messages etc Can anyone help a little more with this..
