Re: does php ring a bell?

Wow, that would be complicated, and I don't think it could be done with PHP. You would have to write a client app that you could send stuff to from the server and it would do something. In php the only way i could think of is if there was some page that you had open and it would reload every so often, and when someone clicks on that button, some variable would be set, and the page that reloads itself every 5 seconds, lets say, would change and notify you of the chat request. You could have a popup when someone logs on to the club site, and that popup remains open and refreshes while they are logged on.... That seems really stupid though, but no one else had responded and I thought I'd throw in my two cents.
