Propel ORM. Writing a JavaScript/PHP Chat Server | jenChat | jenseng.com. This tutorial was written in 2003, which is truly prehistoric in internet terms. If you're looking to write a modern chat server that works in all browsers, here are a couple considerations: Don't write your own, just adapt an existing one.
There are plenty of good free (and bad) ones out there. A quick google search reveals lots of things like this. If you are intent on writing your own, don't follow this guide (unless you are a time traveler from 10 years ago, or a masochist). There are nicer ways of implementing the same functionality... Front-End Iframe polling is silly in this day and age, you should use XHR instead (if you're using jQuery, that's the reliable old $.ajax). If you still really want to go the LAMP+iframe route, that's cool and all, but note that I probably won't respond to questions about it or be able to offer you any debugging tips.
