PHP - Building Simple Chat Windows
Hello,
I want to know first, how to start new pages or small windows
Next, how to temporarily store data and then delete upon exit of chat so that memory can be saved
How to embed objects like images (objects?)
How to have resizable or set the size of input field for the message
Show a sign like "person is typing" when other person is inputting data
I'll probably get yelled at, I'm trying to amass all the information I need
I'll research each subject as I accomplish a task
Right now I could really use a download script that saves a photo, gets url of photo and searches the document for "By Name" and cuts out / stores the Name part and then renames the file with an increment of one, instead I have to do 300 clicks with my mouse. = ineptitude or ignorance
That is theoretically the ideal case but I have to sift through photos, see which ones are good eg. face is covered by watermark
Thanks for any help

I am currently making a real time chat database for my website and have been having an issue with the coverting of string to emote image links. Code: [Select] function Smiley($texttoreplace) { $smilies=array( ':)' => "<img src='images/emotes/smile.gif'/>", ':(' => "<img src='images/emotes/sad.gif'/>", '>:(' =>"<img src='images/emotes/angry.gif'/>", ':o'=> "<img src='images/emotes/shocked.gif'/>", 'fuck'=>"$#$%", 'Fuck'=>"&$#@" ); $texttoreplace=strtr($texttoreplace, array_keys($smilies)); return $texttoreplace; } I Have even tried Code: [Select] $texttoreplace=str_replace(array_keys($smilies), array_values($smilies), $texttoreplace); but that didnt seem to work either. Here is my full code. Code: [Select] <?php include "connect.php"; $getnummessages="SELECT COUNT(*) as messagecount from chatmessages"; $getnummessages2=mysql_query($getnummessages) or die("Yay, Jump off cliff"); $getnummessages3= mysql_result($getnummessages2, 0); if($getnummessages3>21) { $startrow=$getmessages3-20; } else { $startrow=0; } $getmsg="SELECT name, message from chatmessages order by postime ASC limit $startrow,$getnummessages3"; $getmsg2=mysql_query($getmsg) or die(mysql_error()); while($getmsg3=mysql_fetch_array($getmsg2)) { $message=Smiley($message);//should make smiley here but not working....hmmmm print "<font color='red'><b>$getmsg3[name]:</b></font> $getmsg3[message]<br>"; } function Smiley($texttoreplace) { $smilies=array( ':)' => "<img src='images/smile.gif'>", ':angry' =>"<img src='images/angry.gif'>", ':o'=> "<img src='images/shocked.gif'>", 'fuck'=>"$#$%", 'Fuck'=>"&$#@" ); $texttoreplace=str_replace(array_keys($smilies), array_values($smilies), $texttoreplace); return $texttoreplace; } //this is my refresh script below ?> <script> setTimeout("window.location.replace('chatlog.php')",4000); </script> Any help would be great, been looking at this code for a while now so some fresh eyes would be great.

this game (room) mast bi secret, and only this two player can use this game for "read" and "write" events in game
for example: Game no: 200001 between user A and user B in 14.05.
when User A, and User B click on game no. 200001 they can read and write game event.

I am not sure how I should go about doing this. I have a server that has a chat server on it, people register an account and then have access to this chat server from their application. To initially connect to it, they need a game id and game stamp (kind of like a username/password for the game). I don't want chats from one application to display in another users application. When I created this chat server it was for another purpose, and could only support about 64,510 different chats since each chat ran on its own port. For my current purpose it is a little different some applications can have 1 - 10 chats going at once per user using the application. Say their is 100 people using the application and each is using 5 - 10 different chat windows. With 100 users on at the same time all chatting, that can get up to 1,000 different ports being used. I don't want that, because say there are 100 applications also using chat, that is about 100,000 different ports, and I am pretty sure you cant have 100,000 ports. So! I need a way to make a chat server, any ideas on how I could do this with my php? need more information? please ask! Can anyone suggest some good php Script(or Weburl) to do chat part in my php system please... Thanks in advance Hi i would like a simple chat page on my site for my members. i already have a site login database and want to know how i can let people chat and have their names entered with thier message without them having to login in to something else or typing their name with each message, for example - tom says: hello Hi, I need to develop a module called chat with doctor. User can able to chat with the doctor for that he has to pay some amount to website. Say example user got purchase the Package worth : 2$ =>5min. After 5 min chat will be closed , timer should be shown while chatting. How can we do this? Hi, I'm trying to make an area where people can post stuff, status updates etc... I have a small layout done, but something has confused me. I'm trying to get it so when somebody is logged in, and posts something in the chat area, it displays: [Name] [Comment] I know how to read from the database, but for some reason, when I press the 'submit' button, the text in the 'comment' box isn't inserting into my 'comment' column in my database... But I want it so it inserts in the users column. Is this possible? Code: [Select] <?php if($submit) { $comment = $_POST['comment']; $submit = $_POST['submit']; $connect = mysql_connect("****","****","****") or die("Could not connect to database."); mysql_select_db("****") or die ("Could not find database!"); $query("INSERT INTO login ('comment') VALUES('$comment')"); $result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error()); } ?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <title>Untitled Document</title> </head> <body> <form method="POST"> Comment: <input type="text" name="comment" /><br /> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" /><br /> </form> </body> </html> This topic has been moved to Miscellaneous. http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php?topic=316029.0 Hi guys, I have recently been asked by a freinds to turn his web-site in to a CMS web site and i was just wondering if implementing it in php is the write way to go about it. I have never realy build anything like a CMS so if you guys have tips for me that would be spot on. Hey guys, I'm not exactly sure what the term used for this is, but I'll try explaining it very thoroughly. My site I'm building is this: http://r-gaming.net/urban-rp/home/ On index.php file, I would like it so you if you're logged in (I have a logged in system already scripted), you're able to post current news. Something like this: http://ls-rp.com/ Would anyone willing to help me by linking a tutorial to code this method 'latest news' tool? Would be greatly appreciated. Crayon Hello everyone, im new here. so to begin with i wanted to ask you about my realtime chat script im creating. You can check it out here http://madnet.us.lt/chat.php. Please! i repeat PLEASE, dont use any tags or sumtin in input fields, the chat is still unsafe! It only works in some versions of Opera, Mozila(best) and i think it should work on Chrome, but god no ,dont use IE This is my first project i created so dont judge me if the code sounds stupid to you:D I made this using php/html/jquery and css . My first problem is that i used timeout function for chat div refresh, i dont think its the best way to get data from mysql, couse if like 500 or more people will get refreshes every 1 second, i think the server would crash, maybe you could get me through this with an alternative. Another problem is as i mentioned before that this chat is not capable with all explorers people use today. Third problem is that i cant figure it out how to make the public and clan buttons work (i only manage to get one of them work, if i make another one work then they conflict(nevermind you will see in the code)). I got a lot of more questions about security and stuff. but for now i would like to get the answers how to fix these things. Now il share you the code. I will accept all you advices so be free to say anything you think would be better for my real time chat. Im attaching the chat files.You will find the mysql tables in the zip Many thanks!
