I'm looking for a PHP chat solution.

Hi,


I tried the following chat solutions on my site:

- IRC chat with java chatbox: problem is that people need to install something (jvm) to connect to the chatbox via the site.

- AJAX chat: worked very slow, with a 2-3 seconds delay before a message appears.

So, are there any other fast and flexible chat solutions where no installs on the client are necessary. Ideally i would like a chatbox that connects to a irc server, but without an installation.


Regards

 

Do you need ajax?
try hotscripts

 

There are countless chat scripts, but this is the best so far http://phpopenchat.sourceforge.net

Cool features and cross-browser compatibilty.

However, this is not an IRC chat, but at www.sourceforge.net you can also find the right one.

 

Try this out:

http://www.tufat.com/script2.htm

Its a pretty decent chat system. It'll cost your 5 bucks though...not too bad of a deal if you ask me. Its very easy to integrate with Message Boards or CMS. Its a Flash interface that uses PHP/MySQL.

 

thanks guys!
never heard about those, gonna check them out.

 

sourceforge.net is good to find that suitable one.

but this is alway's good to write your own chat script. It might take 2-3 day's but that will be the best .And you can control it better.

Tufat's flash chat is not really good.

 

Tons of it in Google.

phpopenchat (suggested by Pat Gael) sounds solid, i'll give that 1 a try.

 

PJIRC is JavaScript, and it never made me download anything.

 

Don't you need JAVA virtual machine for that ?

 

Flashchat is the best and easy to install/use

it also is light on 56k users and doesn't require the annoying java applets.

I already own two of them

Peace,

 

But on some sites i see pure HTML chats, without installs, that connect to an IRC server. Anyone know of this ?

 

Flash also requires an extra install.
