<?php
include(‘db.php’);if($_GET[‘user’]){$user=$_GET[‘user’];?><script type=”text/javascript” src=”http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js”></script><script type=”text/javascript”>var user='<?php echo $user;?>’;// Requesting to Database every 2 secondsvar auto_refresh = setInterval(function (){var last_id=$(“ol#update li:last”).attr(“id”);$.getJSON(“chat_json.php?q=”+user,function(data){$.each(data.posts, function(i,data){if(last_id != data.id){var div_data=”<li id='”+data.id+”‘><b>”+data.user+”</b>: “+data.msg+”</li>”;$(div_data).appendTo(“ol#update”);}});});}, 2000);
// Inserting records into chat table$(document).ready(function(){$(‘.post’).click(function(){var boxval = $(“#content”).val();var user = ‘<?php echo $user;?>’;var dataString = ‘user=’+ user + ‘&msg=’ + boxval;if(boxval.length > 0){$.ajax({type: “POST”,url: “chatajax.php”,data: dataString,cache: false,success: function(html){$(“ol#update”).append(html);$(‘#content’).val(”);$(‘#content’).focus();}});}return false;});});</script>// HTML code<div><form method=”post” name=”form” action=””><input type=’text’ name=”content” id=”content” /><input type=”submit” value=”Post” id=”post” class=”post”/></form></div><?php } ?>

<?php
$mysql_hostname = “Host name”;$mysql_user = “UserName”;$mysql_password = “Password”;$mysql_database = “Database Name”;$bd = mysql_connect($mysql_hostname, $mysql_user, $mysql_password) or die(“Could not connect database”);mysql_select_db($mysql_database, $bd) or die(“Could not select database”);?>
