Re: PHP Chat system advice

Micky, 
I need to make a web-based IM in php which is integrated into Invision
Board.
The integration with invision is fine however the IM part is my reason
for posting here.

Preferably, I want to implement this using php.  So my question is,
what would be the best way to do this?
I have looked into this somewhat and definately do not want to use a
flat file to hold IM/chat.. text, so is a database my only other
option?

You have XML, sqlite (probably closer to what your looking for), and you might want to run it through something like flash or some ajax to make it seemless.

Mike
