phpFreeChat is a chat server that is free, fast, customizable and easy to use.
There is no need to worry about firewalls because this chat is based on http. This means all you need is a web browser and an internet connection, and you are good to go! The Ajax technology used in the chat allows for smooth refreshing and updating of the chat zone and nickname zone. Additionally, the chat server system stores messages and nicknames into a simple filesystem, so server resources are conserved to the maximum extent.
Bandwidth is preserved because the server never transmits the same data twice, only new messages are transmitted. This makes for a fast and robust chatting experience. But the real highlight of phpFreeChat is its customizable nature. For instance, you can write your own customized CSS stylesheets to completely change the appearance of your chat.
Not just that, but all chat functionalities are customizable too. Whether it is changing the messages refresh time or banning users for changing their usernames, the chat server system is flexible enough to accommodate your needs. The plugin system even allows you to write your storage routines.
Thus, you can easily create a plugin to store the conversations into your database. The icing on the cake is that phpFreeChat doesn't use mysql, so you don't have to worry about installing it. Overall, phpFreeChat is an amazing software that offers customization, speed, and simplicity.
