How would I go about creating a life chat support page for my website? 

by Guest Geek on October 25, 2009

Q: I am considering putting a live support page on my almost-completely-php site. I have worked with system-style (analysis, antivirus engineering etc) programming for close to 10 years and am most familiar with VB type of chat clients. I know that ajax is required for something like this, but do not know how to build something that is just a basic chat system with a send button, sender name and time, and 2 colors for client and staff. Also, what about creating a time-out function on the page? I did download a trial version of something but it came with a lot of bells and whistles and not even the owners of this package could get it set up all the way during the free trial.

Does ajax create a lot of overhead on the client side? I have unlimited bandwidth and space on my account, with a T3 connection, however, my target audience will most likely be on the lower end of about 6mb with a few maybe on dialup. FYI, this site is still being programmed, so the core information is yet to be started.

Can I use ajax to create a page that is like an auto-refreshing php code? For auditing purposes like a hit counter on my side (personal home computer, not the server), with much information displayed in a template?

Large questions, I know. I hope this isn’t out of the scope of just a Q&A site.

Is there a way to time how long a PDF has been opened for? 

by Guest Geek on October 15, 2009

Q: I am currently using a PDF format for online educational courses. The students simply download the course and fill it in and then email it to me for grading. I must now require some of my online courses to be timed. What would be the easiest approach to online course timing? Is there a way to add a timing feature to my PDFs or will this task require a whole new software program or approach?

by Guest Geek on October 13, 2009

Q: Is there a conversion program that can take an old FrontPage98 website and convert it to one of the newer web-authoring programs such as Publisher 2007 or do I have to recreate the website from scratch?

Is it possible to have a single form submit to two PHP scripts? 

by Guest Geek on September 30, 2009

Q: Is it possible to have an HTML form that passes the same value to two different PHP files and then display the two in one window?

I am using PHPLot and once I create the graph I want to display the list, in HTML format, of information that is being graphed.
