Hello all I made a simple php chat room but it used refreshing so it screwed up the site stats and took up bandwth ... on advice i got here i made a flash chat room but that did the same Now i need advice, where do i go from here. I know nothing about java other than it ca be a security worry. Would it give me the same problems? What would you do ? Thanks for any comments or advice Al
Hi, I replied to your other post. I have a new idea for people wanting to create chat rooms but i dont know how to do it. Could you use an XML socket connection in either flash or php which would send data from computer to computer. The connection would probable have to be through flash as if it was through php then it would not solve the bandwidth and stats problem. Anyone got any ideas on this?
If I was going to write a chat app in PHP today, I might look at doing a server/client setup with PHP-GTK and sockets, communicating via XML.
But that would take a while
