PHP-Based Chat Room
This particular design of web-based chat uses variables posted from a form, processes them into HTML and writes them to a file. Put the form and the message file in a frameset and you have something that looks reasonably like a BeSeen chat room. Of course the advantage is, this chat room can be a little more clever than it's BeSeen cousin.

A MySQL Driven Chat Script
This article will show you how to create a quick-n-easy chat script using PHP and a very simple MySQL database. The script will allow visitors to choose a nickname, enter text to send to the chatting window, and view messages from other people... all in real-time! For a bit of fun, the chat application also has buttons to send several emote-icons including smiling and frowning faces.

Mini-Chat Tutorial
This tutorial is about my mini-chat script. It's not really a chat, since dialogs are updated only when page refreshes. It is the first tutorial of a series for some development techniques. Right now, I will focus on explaining how I managed the building of this mini-chat.
First thing to ask is what is chatting? So what do I need to Code? Basicly, a chat is a set of messages posted by someone, and in the order they've been posted. So we can write a first form, having two fields 'login' and 'message'. Then, we have to append it to a file, or better, a database. The details for the form syntax may be found in Matt's Tutorial.

If you don't know what a ShoutBox is, you can check one out at Deskmod. They're a neat way to let the visitor interact with your website without the hassle of a guestbook. Making your own shoutbox at first might seem hard, but its simple and easy to make. You can see my code that I worked on and made sure worked by right clicking and saving shoutbox.txt. In fact, the one for this tutorial is only 35 lines total. Make a new file and save it as shoutbox.php and put all of the code on this tutorial in the body. Making a shoutbox can all be done with one file, specifically three steps, and you have to work backwards to have it function. First, you must make the submit action, which uploads the name and comments to the mySQL database. Secondly, you must have the display action which displays the comments. Finally, you need the form where the people can add the comments.
Before anything else though, you must make the mySQL database. I decided to add 4 fields to the database: id, name, message, and time. I called the table 'shoutbox' and the database 'news'. You can copy paste this code inside your mySQL database using a program such as PHPMyAdmin, or (type it in by hand if you feel so :) Here is the mySQL code I used:
