Dorac Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Hi all, im a newbie at php and this site, but am very keen on it :-) i live in south africa and over here the ISP charge a hefty amount for international bandwidth, therefore i make use of local bandwidth with very limited browsing international websites. (even skype battles to stay connected) so i'd like to create just a very very basic website (1 page) just for me and a friend to be connected in a chat room with voip as well. can this be done using php? QUESTION 1 webpage, includes a chat room (or shoutbox) and can allow voip using php and html. is it possible?? If not please could you suggest a solution for me? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stooney Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Is ventrilo not an option? It doesn't use much bandwidth at all and offers both voice and chat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHP Monkeh Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 I don't think it'll make a difference on the bandwidth usage whether it's a stand alone program or a web based solution. It still has to send the same amount of data... unless it's horrible quality. I used to set up a teamspeak server back in the days of 56k to speak to a friend on, worked fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorac Posted February 5, 2008 Author Share Posted February 5, 2008 yeah trying out the Teamspeak soon... downloading the client and server. ive heard it works best . The bandwidth is not the problem, the problem is that i only have normal bandwidth (downloads, streaming, voip, etc) here is south africa. So cant do much like use msn messenger to chat to a friend or somethin like that. So ultimately id need a server and client situation like teamspeak. thanks. but im still curious as to whether voip can be used over a php/html web page? would sockets be needed etc or what would be needed to stream voip between two connections? Thanks for the speedy reply and help ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHP Monkeh Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 It wouldn't be possible just client-client via a php/html page I don't think, but don't quote me on that! There'd need to be a server involved somewhere (to host the page and transmit the data). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorac Posted February 5, 2008 Author Share Posted February 5, 2008 agreed, would just be cool besides using skype or msn messenger noobness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
