Hello all,
I am working on a system similar to phpLive. The main aim of my system is to provide customers to chat with a support-personel iF he/she is online.
I want to make it client server based. The support personel will be using a C++ made desktop client to chat, but the website visitor will use the PHP page in the site.
My question is,
Is it a good idea if i made the chat server in php, using php sockets ? How reliable is it. I could have used c++ to make the server, but i will have a tough time making c++ work with database.
I want to run the php-made server script in my hosting server thru shell. How reliable will the php made server be? (assuming that my coding standard is fairly okay). The server MUST BE ABLE TO HANDLE MULTIPLE CONNECTIONS from multiple IPs. I know C++ will of course be reliable, but PHP is easier.
Please give me your thoughts about how reliable a php-made server script can be ? Is it dependable ? Sorry i do not mean to question the power of PHP, its a great language. I just needed some information.
Regards,
Subrat
