That's a very good question :).[nbsp][nbsp]I've never ever even thought about using php so I haven't got the foggiest.[nbsp][nbsp]Thanks for the link Jimbo.[nbsp][nbsp]Do you have any other php links?

I'm going to set up a new chat room on my site with php. Then:
I've never ever even thought about using php... Just thought I'd point that out ;)[nbsp][nbsp] Anyway, chat scripts are not allowed, whether it be CGI, PHP, or anything that runs on the server side. You will need to either:

- Outsource your chat to an external server, perhaps IRC with a Java client
- Use a peer-to-peer system of some sort, again perhaps using a Java based client

Please be sure to re-read http://www.FutureQuest.net/tos.php (certainly you read it prior to signifying that you agree to its terms, but you may want to review the section on scripts).

Thank you Justin ;)

Well then I won't bother with this then.[nbsp][nbsp]We were using a java chat, but I disabled it a while back.[nbsp][nbsp]I am really not into the chat room thing, but my visitors are.[nbsp][nbsp]The only reason I was looking for a new one is because the admin functions in Ralf's chat are a PITA.
