Thanks!

This post really helped me. I do not currently programme in PHP, so decided to re-implement this project in Java. If anyone is interested, I did a ruff implementation for deployment to Apache TomEE 1.5.1 that can be found at http://coderforever.blogspot.com/2013/03/web-chat-example-javaserver-faces-on.html?view=sidebar

Thanks again.

I don't Understand why you have used three classes 'ChatUser', 'ChatLine' and 'ChatBase'. So that you could simply add the methods of 'ChatUser' and 'ChatLine' in the class Chat as static methods and this will works finely. Please Martin, what's the magic behind separating theme in this way ? Thank you in advance.

The chat is loading but I cant receive any messages. I can see those messages in the DB but Cant understand why isnt being displayed. I am getting this error in the logs. It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings. You are *required* to use the date.timezone setting or the date_default_timezone_set() function. In case you used any of those methods and you are still getting this warning, you most likely misspelled the timezone identifier. We selected 'Asia/Calcutta' for 'IST/5.0/no DST' instead in /home/earnfame/public_html/php/classes/Chat.class.php on line 125

Hello. This functions fine. Deep thanks.
On question: can I embed this function into a website where user have logged in already. Login results are save in a session variable. Is there a way to have them logged in automatically in the chat session, avoiding the login form? I have tried a lot, but did not succeed.
Thanks in advance.

Nice application!

Although i am hesitating to use the gravatar function, since in this application somebody could easily type in your name and email and pretend to be you...

Cheers!
