Why ask for trouble? The key technology for making chat rooms in PHP is automatic partial page refresh.
Through php ajax technology, you can perfectly meet your requirements.
The specific principle is as follows. In the web chat box, it is called by ajax. Ajax passes parameters to a php page. This page also calls the database and returns the new content in the database to the page chat box.
Then you can adjust the time yourself, whether to access the database once every 20 seconds or every 10 seconds.
As for the socket technology of PHP, to be honest, I have been working with PHP for 8 years and have never touched it.
I think the key is not what technology to use, the key is to solve the problem.
Hope it’s useful to you.
PHP’s support for network communication is not very good. Although PHP’s socket is supported, the concurrency is not good. Let’s use Java’s Mina framework.
