There are loads of PHP chat progs out there for your website, such as:

For more try a google search for PHP Chat software.

(like my pocket :o ))

Unkown Error
Sorry, an error occurred.

at f:\wamp\www\yasin\template_class\phpopenchat\include\adodb\drivers\adodb-mysql.inc.php:22
[2048] var: Deprecated. Please use the public/private/protected modifiers

Could not connect to database! Please check your database setup in config.inc.php by using the POC Installer!

Could you help me ?

Take care.

Probably a good idea to open up config.inc.php and look at the database settings and see if they are correct. If they look correct, might be worth posting lines 10-25 of adodb-mysql,inc.php. Its probably a file that doesn't need editing directly, but seeing the code that is throwing up the error might help solve the problem.

Hi.
Code:

// security - hide paths
if (!defined('ADODB_DIR')) die();

if (! defined("ADODB_MYSQL_LAYER")) {
define("ADODB_MYSQL_LAYER", 1 );

class ADODB_mysql extends ADOConnection {
var $databaseType = 'mysql';
var $dataProvider = 'mysql';
var $hasInsertID = true;
var $hasAffectedRows = true;
var $metaTablesSQL = "SHOW TABLES";
var $metaColumnsSQL = "SHOW COLUMNS FROM %s";
var $fmtTimeStamp = "'Y-m-d H:i:s'";
var $hasLimit = true;
var $hasMoveFirst = true;
var $hasGenID = true;
var $isoDates = true; // accepts dates in ISO format
var $sysDate = 'CURDATE()';
var $sysTimeStamp = 'NOW()';
var $hasTransactions = false;
var $forceNewConnect = false;
var $poorAffectedRows = true;
var $clientFlags = 0;
var $substr = "substring";
var $nameQuote = '`'; /// string to use to quote identifiers and names
var $compat323 = false; // true if compat with mysql 3.23

The config.inc.php is good, all the values are
correct (test.php all green like you know ......)
BYE and TKS
Take care.

Sorry this is the line 22
var $databaseType = 'mysql';

var: Deprecated. Please use the public/private/protected modifiers

You have E_STRICT turned on in your error reporting. Replace "var" with "public" or turn E_STRICT off (which you'd have to do if you want to use much PHP4 code.)

Hi.
Thanks a lot Weedpacket.
It works I've got php 5 installed
on my localhost.
Take care.
