Re: Re[2]: [PHP] Please help!!! Trying to write some chat script!

for the interaction and performance of a chat room i would choose for java, php is stateless and therefore it's not easy to see when a user is logged in or out or anything like that.. with the help of JAVA it's possible to build fairly easy an client and a server class which does the communication for you.. PHP is not really the thing to build chat appplications in..
