PhpMyChat
PhpMyChat is a simple chatroom script done in PHP and uses a MySQL database to store chat information. With a little different approach that conventional chatroom program that generally run as a service in the web server (and takes up a large portion of the server resources), PhpMyChat simply passes traffic through generic HTTP requests that does help reduce a little of the server resources overloading issue. However, the periodic refresh of the web browser screen to pickup latest changes upset people that do not prefer auto-refresh of web browser window. For details of the PhpMyChat script, please refer to the official website at PhpMyChat.
