You either are looking to do it as a standalone application outside of the web environment, or you are looking to do it via the web environment using some combination of backend PHP and front end browser refreshes (not recommended) or AJAX. A simple scenario for the web version follows: 1. User logs in (or implicitly is logged in anonymously) 2. User sees any ongoing discussion for X amount of previous time 3. User can post a form to the website (or post data via AJAX) which effectively is the user's message to the chat server 4. Message is save to database with ID/timestamp 5. Browser refreshes or AJAX retrieves messages greater than user's session message ID 6. Return to step 1. The session is responsible for tracking the last message ID retrieved by the user. This could also be facilitated by the browser, but it will almost certainly be problematic. Additionally, but having it in the session you ensure the user can't arbitrarily jump back in time (this may be a privacy issue if chat users only expect those logged in to ever see their messages). Additionally when saving messages or viewing messages you may want to track a group ID that refers to the chat forum in which the messages are being posted/retrieved. In this way you can have multiple chat rooms. This should get you started or asking questions more to the point. Cheers, Rob. -- ...

The Ajax method is definately a good approach, particulary if you're wanting to have the chat client within a web page. The other approach is to make a php chat daemon, this can be achieved by running php through the CLI. To get started some reading of the PHP Manual would be advised, partculary under stream_socket_server, stream_socket_accept, pcntl_fork, the CLI section itself, and finally some catching up on php wrapeprs to stdin, stdout

Re: [PHP] proc_open fclose streams..
Nathan Rixham wrote:
Hi Guys,
Hoping somebody out there may have come across this one, possible
functionality request depending on responses.
$descriptor = array(
0 = array(pipe, r),
1 = array(pipe, w),
2 = array(pipe, w)
);
$process = proc_open('mysql', $descriptor, $pipes);
fwrite($pipes[0], 'show databases;');
echo stream_get_contents($pipes[1]); //won't work, crash, time out..
nothing returns as we need to..
fwrite($pipes[0], 'show databases;');
fclose($pipes[0]); // note the fclose
echo stream_get_contents($pipes[1]);
I don't want to fclose pipes[0] though, as i want to keep it open and
keep writing to it, alternating with reading from pipes[1] and [2]..
so a replacement for fclose, or an fflush on stdout that works?
The problem appears to be that nothing is returned to php until the
stdin pipe is closed, even if I write hundreds of commands to it.
I think that's controlled by the process you're calling rather than a
php thing.
For example, smtp connections do this until you enter a '.' on a single
line.
ie the process you're calling doesn't know when to stop reading from
stdin until you close the conn.
