This is a very simple long polling chat demonstration. I made it just for fun , but maybe it can help someone in any place of the world :3
This chat works keeping a single connection open between client and server , this connection will be the responsible to detect any replies from server , and when it occurs, the connection is closed, and a new HTTP request is opened to keep watching the server again.
This app runs over a very simple framework , or a kind of , that i've developed for this app. (It just do basic URL matches, controllers logic and views rendering)
No jQuery dependency for XHR requests and DOM updates.
1 - First of all, of course , clone this repository
2 - Create the file app/config/db/db-config-development.php(just rename the db-config-sample file and edit database access configurations)
3 - Access the app using your local apache installation, you will be prompted to setup things.
4 - Now setup the main database, and next go to /setup to finish the tables migration.
5 - Play it harder, make it better, do it faster, make us stronger :)
