webcamming feature

I want to offer my users the ability to webcam with each other. This is not possible through PHP alone is it?

You can probably do it. It all depends on your ability to implement the API specs that web cams follow. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_cam

I shall google for articles about it. That link is too broad of information, but thanks for the reply and letting me know it's a possibility.

Client to client web cam conferences?

Your best bet is a client side language or service. PHP might be able to help the process, but as a stand alone solution, I would highly recommend looking at easier alternatives.

Macromedia Breeze is one option. And I highly recommend that to anyone with the resources to get it.

From the demo it looks simply amazing. http://www.macromedia.com
