Realtime Chat Application using PHP with MySQL & JavaScript Ajax

Hey friends, today in this blog you'll learn how to create a Realtime Chat Web Application using PHP with MySQL & JavaScript Ajax. Earlier I have shared a blog on how to create a Simple Chatbot using PHP with MySQL & jQuery Ajax. Our maximum viewers have requested me to create a Chat App so I decided to create one.

In this chat app, when you open it first on your browser, there is shown a signup form where you have to signup with your details like name, email, password, and image. Email and image field is fully validated which means you've to enter a valid email and an image file only. Once you signed up successfully, you'll be redirected to the user's page where you can see your full name, image, status, and logout button to the top, and users, like you, appear on the bottom if someone has signed up. On this page, you can see their image, name, status, and the last message if they sent to you. You have to click on the particular user or you can also search any existing user with their name then you'll be redirected to the chat page and there you can see the image, name, status of that user who is going to chat.

Great tutorial! I appreciate how you broke down each step, making it easy to follow. The explanation of form validation is especially helpful, as it ensures user inputs are correct before submission. I am a student of Best International Schools in Hyderabad. Would love to see more examples like this for other types of elements. Keep up the good work!
