Hi Mig,
to create something that behaves more like a true "chat", you need an active client side. For example, you could let a frame with the PHP be reloaded in a short interval. To create a real chat, you need a socket connection. The best solution would be Flash (which has great functions for that). Java is another option. Timo Am Sonntag den, 8.
