Best suggestion i can think of is to do a search on hotscripts for all the different files you are wanting to make in php and see if they are there. If they are, it's possible

I think apart from the chat, everything is possible with php.

For the chat itself you'll probably need a second language (either Flash or javascript) to communicate with the chat-server. I recommend to use Java for this, as this is the easiest way, and is guaranteed to work perfectly. I wrote a Python server and Java client once, and it didn't work well with the closing of a client's socket (I had to send a message to the server asking it to close the socket, instead of Python recognizing the socket is closed). I think you'll face the same problems when combining php with Java.

I agree PHP should be the choice.

I think phpProject will do most or all of this.

did you mean that php with other language cause dificulties?

i prefer php for flexibilty but i think , i will need java for some tasks like co_editor
so , i guess i will need to php with java


at all , i did not have the knowledge php or web application , so i did not know which best for us?
