Though the discussion running is interesting I think it leads to a wrong
direction. The refresh problem has been solved before, for example with a
frame with the message entering form and a second one with a meta refresh
for display. It is likely that some existing softwares based on PHP work
that way.
If you have found a multi-user PHP chat that you like it will not be too
hard to change it. If the messages are stored in a database, they will have
fields such as "message_text", "sender" etc. Now add one called "private"
and give it the value of the 1:1 partner's ID, then on display of the
messages just print the private ones for that partner, if 1:1 mode is on.
