I've seen a lot of Chatsites that run without Clientside Java, it can't be such a weird approach, I don't think the admins of the System the chat is going to be run on would like an irc server on their machines. -- Grüße aus dem schönen Kleve Jens Kisters +++ neue Anschrift +++ rosomm et partner Agentur für neue Medien GmbH Dienstleistungszentrum am Weißen Tor - Eingang B Gocher Landstrasse 2 47551 Kleve / Bedburg-Hau Telefon: 02821 - 97856-20 Telefax: 02821 - 97856-77 [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.rosomm-partner.de -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [PHP] How does one build a big chat system?
> How does one build a big chat system? > Not in PHP :-). Really though, PHP is probably not the optimal language to do something like that in. I would think a Java Servlet or a C program or a Java applet (client) would be better for building something like that. PHP was not designed to keep a long script running and running, either was ASP, Perl or any scripting language. A Java program on the server or a Java applet in the browser would be better suited because it is used to running for the long periods of time that a chat program requires.
