Description: A chat program powered by mySQL and PHP. Inside the raw text file are instructions and all the files necessary, it will cost you a bit of time weeding through the files in there, but it shouldnt be too horrid. I suggest you have a working knowledge of mySQL. It is meant to be entirely buildable, and I have even left a function out, so you may learn how to make your own while making the missing function.
<?php
/*********************************************************************************************************************************
The chat application, in PHP.
Instructions:
Step 1: Set up your mySQL. This is pretty simple, just make two databases, "validation" and "chat".
Step 2: (Optional, but preferred) Add a table to the "chat" database. The table
should be made like so (I am taking into account you have a decent knowledge of mySQL):
Fields for the "lobby" table:
"id", a tinyint type, with a length of 4, autoincrement and primary key.
"name", a varchar type, with a length of 50, default "anonymous".
"message", a text type.
Step 3: Add a table to the "validation" database with the name of "chatrooms".
Fields for the "chatrooms" table:
"id", a tinyint type, with a length of 2, autoincrement and primary key.
"key", a varchar type, with a length of 100.
"room", a varchar type, length of 100.
"creator", a varchar type, length of 50.
"timestamp", a datetime type, default of "0000-00-00 00:00:00".
"comments" a text type.
"is_lobby", a tinyint type with a length of 1, default of 0.
Step 4: If you did step 2, add a new row to the "lobby" table, and to the "chatroom" table, with these
values...
In the "lobby" table:
"id", let this take care of itself.
"name", whatever your online handle or name is.
"message", a quick little message you want to show up as the first message in the chat room.
In the "chatrooms" table:
"id", once again, let it take care of itself.
"key", this is more of a toughie. Whip up a PHP script that outputs the md5 of your password.
Put that in there.
"room", "lobby" should be the value here.
"creator", whatever you put into the "name" field of "lobby"
"timestamp", put the current date and time in here in the correct format.
"comments", put whatever you want to here, doesnt matter much.
"is_lobby", set this little guy to "1".
Step 5: The simplest step so far. Go through this file and save out its stuff in the proper filenames,
pretty straightforward.
Pretty easy to do if you know some mySQL. ^_^;;;;
