i was asked by a client if it would be possible to integrate something like netmeeting into my site as they have regular meetings and would like to accomplish this using video conferencing
I was just wondering is this possible within PHP as i havent got the foggiest idea where to start.

This probably isn't a PHP thing to be honest. I would recommened using Flash MX if you have it (or can get hold of it) because it allows you to stream multiple web-cams into/through a Flash movie.
From there you could intergrate some PHP back-end stuff if you need it to keep tabs on whose on-line etc.

Since MX, Flash can utilize webcams and microphones. There's a little bit on it at http://www.macromedia.com/support/flash ... _video.htm.
Check out the Macromedia site for more info on Flash etc. As far as I know Flash MX can be hooked up to special MX servers that allow fast transfers of video and audio streams.
I can't yet afford Flash MX but it's on my list of "must buys" because it's just so damn cool... and yes, you can have multiple web-cam streams into one Flash file (I think the maximum is 8 but don't quote me on that).
