Hey, look at this " . " it's a full-stop!

Anything else you want? :P

Before you try jumping straight into something like a chat room I hope you have learnt at least the very basics... like what echo() does and what $_GET[] $_POST[] and $_SESSION[] mean.

How much do you actually know so far? Also, for something that updates in realtime php wont cut it too well. I'd use a java applet or similar.

OK go here

http://www.php.net/tut

A tutorial (basic, easy one). It starts from a very simple writing the word "Hello World!" in php and goes onto some more essential things (easy to follow though). It'll take you 40 mins max... then once you understand some basic principles you will get some help. Nobody will write it for you though :roll:

its not wrong to know but you gotta do some research for yourself. we cant spell everything out for you. why dont you check the PHP Starter Pack - Fundamental PHP Know-How thread. that will give you a good start. as for making a chat room...do you want a shout box, or a live steaming chat room like on aim or aol or whatever? if you want the steaming one then your going to want to look at java instead of php.

You wont get help with your attitude.

We are helping. If went to php.net you'd see why we send you there.

We aren't gonna write the whole thing for you which we would do if we told you everything to write. Any idea what that would cost you commercially?

A chatroom like you described is a pretty big script - asking for help like that is a bit too much.

This is getting tiresome. I dont think you're listening. Yes I knwo you're a slow learner.

Hence the reason we asked you to learn THE BASICS.

If you read your first post it basics says... I want to write this application, it must this, that and the other... but I haven't learnt the basics. Now you're refusing to learn the basics. Should we just throw some code at you?

OK Guys - that's enough.

There's more pages... I did say it starts basic.

Click the link at the top right of each tutorial to go on to the next one (I think it says "Something useful" on the first page).
