Webslesson: Chat application in PHP

In this post, we are going to build a simple PHP and Mysql Chat Application using PHP Web Socket Ratchet. If you are looking for How to create Live or Real time chat Application in PHP then you have come on the right place, because in this post we have share you how to create Live Chat Application PHP with WebSockets. In this post, we will create Chat Application in which multiple user can chat with other users.

This is very interesting post on How to create chat App in PHP without using Ajax. In one of our previous post, we have already published tutorial on Chat application in PHP using ajax. But As we have know in Chat system, Ajax based Chat application in PHP is not best solution, this is because Ajax will increases the load on the server. So for this here we have use Ratchet PHP WebSockets for build real-time live chat application in PHP and in this chat app we will store chat data in Mysql database when one user has post chat under this system.

From this tutorial you can learn not only how to make group chat or multi user chat application using Ratchet WebSocket library but also you can also find this solution of one to one or single user or private chat application also. This is because under this post we will combine source code of group chat system and one to one chat application tutorial source code also. So from this single tutorial you can find solution for how to make group chat system and how to build real time one to one chat application also.

Feature of Group Chat Application

Under this Group Chat application using Ratchet Web socket you can get following feature under this tutorial.

Once single user has send chat message then other connected other user can received chat message using Ratchet client server.
User online or Offline status will be change after page refresh

Feature of One to One Chat Application

Under this One to one or Single User or Private chat application with Ratchet WebSocket library you can find following feature under this tutorial.

Send One to One Chat Message in Real-time using Ratchet WebSocket Library
Display or Hide Unread Message Notification in Real-time using Ratchet WebSocket Library
Display User Online or Offline Status in Real-time using Ratchet WebSocket Library

What is WebSockets?

WebSockets is a bi-directional and full-duplex which has provide persistent connection from a web browser to our server. So when WebSocket connection has been established in our browser, then it will open connection until client or server has decides to close this connection. So by with this open connection, the user or our server can send or receive chat data at any given time to the each other and it will makes our web programming completely on event driven and not just user started off. The other benefits of this websockets is that, at the same time on single running server, it will connect all connection and it will allowing us to communicate with any number of live connection at the any given time. So this are all benefits of this WebSockets in this Web programming.

Based on this benefits, we have use PHP WebSockets like Ratchet for build Chat Application in PHP and Mysql. Under this post, we will learn you step by step how to build Chat Application in PHP using WebSocket from scratch. Under this PHP Web Development tutorial, you can learn how can we quickly build at Chat App with RatChet using PHP script and Mysql Database.

Database of Chat Application

Before learning chat application, first you need to make tables for store chat application data in Mysql database. So first you need to create tables by run following Sql script you can create chat application tables in you mysql database.

Source Code of PHP Chat Application

Below you can find PHP Chat Application Source code file.

database/Database_connection.php

This file we will use for make database connection under this chat application.


<?php

//Database_connection.php

class Database_connection
{
	function connect()
	{
		$connect = new PDO("mysql:host=localhost; dbname=chat", "root", "");

		return $connect;
	}
}

?>

database/ChatUser.php

This ChatUser.php class file we have use for process user data at server side. Under this class file we have make set and get method for user data and after this we have make method for check user already register or not and lastly we have make insert user data in mysql table.


<?php
