Re: PHP Chat REALTIME

> I dont think its possible without Java programing. its posible to keep a http connection open and trust on flush() to send some data to the client, if this data contains javascript you could update a window or something... if you want to make this safe: make sure you use a combination of a open http connection with flush() and reload the frame your flush()'ing time to time (in case of a proxy server) shoplist for a chat: * 3 frames: 1 to display incomming data, 1 to have a input field and post to the server and 1 to receive data from your http stream (could be hidden) * some javascript to move the data from the http stream window to the display window * a db backend and maybe a check (with the post, or the refresh) which lines have been received by the client * a cute design :) with kind regards, Joffrey van Wageningen ne2000.nl
