I am looking for a simple javascript or php script that allows chatting. Can't use SQL so if you know of a flatfile php that would be great. Must be easy to configure.

Anyone have any ideas.

Ive been playing with the tutorial and code from http://www.dynamicajax.com/fr/AJAX_D...1_290_291.html.

Its realy pretty cool this AJAX concept and for chat systems you cannot get better.

Hope it helps.

I wrote the chat tutorial at Dynamic AJAX, and you could modify it to use a flat file or XML file fairly easily. I would recommend using an XML file, then you can just add messages to it programmatically using the XMLDOM. The only work that you would have to do would be on the back end PHP file, and everything else should just work.

You might run into a little tedious logic trying to figure out the last message the user recieved and pulling apart the rest. But it shouldn't be too bad using the XMLDOM.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Ive been extending it "time permitting to facilitiate multiple rooms" (had some success too.

Its no where near ready to go live or anything but as a little project it passes the hours nicely.
