So, here it is, the new version is Voc.
it now supports MySQL-engine, but the main advantage is productivity.
The chat was tested on the real chat-system with up to 350 simultaneous visitors and the daemon eats 10-11Mbytes of memory and 9-14% of CPU.
Because some people removed my copyrights (and even replace it with their own) I've changed the license to QT Pulbic License.
I really don't like situation when I need to help somebody who whant to promote my own product as his one.
If you good enough in PHP to remove copyrights, you can write your own chat
changelog:
New:
-- Graphical statistics (users-online, messages per minute)
-- Show user's sex in the 'who in the chat' list
-- Time offset for messages (i.e. your server has GMT-3 time, but your users usually come from GMT+1)
-- User's nickname highlighting in the messages (so you can see when somebody writes to you)
Changes:
-- some 'consistency' checks were added for the messages- and users-lists.
-- photos are stored now with the user-id in the filename (instead of nickname -- it's neccessary in case you're enable non-latin characters in the nicknames. First of all it designed for users of Apache Rus)
-- engine-subtree has been moved to the data/ directory (because of security reasons)
-- minor bug fixed
added new:
-- 2 new chat types (php-stream and emulation of stream with JavaScript)
-- chooseable designes
-- web-based configuration tool
-- "sky" design
-- new languages (german, dutch)
So, test this chat with ability of continuously updating of user mesasges.
You need just PHP-4.x. For continuously show also Perl needed
