|  | | ARSC Really Simple Chat |  | | Description: ARSC Really Simple Chat | | ARSC is an easy to install, simple to handle, cross-browser and cross-platform compatible, high-performance open source web chat system written in PHP, using MySQL.
Once installed on your webserver, ARSC provides a chat interface to the visitors of your site. Your visitors need no special plugins or additional software to chat, only their webbrowser. ARSC is licensed under the GPL, that means it is free.
Chatting with ARSC is very comfortable. If you have a modern browser with frame support and JavaScript support enabled, ARSC makes use of these technologies. If you have an older browser, or you have JavaScript disabled, or even if you have a browser that does not support frames, you can still chat with ARSC. Let me say it this way: With ARSC, chatting on a webpage is possible with every known browser under the sun that is still in use nowadays.
In contrary to many other PHP/MySQL webchats, ARSC can be run using a non-forking socketserver to handle all message transport. Other chats use the httpd process to handle the message transport, what causes a big overhead, while the socketserver of ARSC works very ressource-friendly and can handle way more users. The server is completely written in PHP and thus does not need any special requirements besides a cgi-bin installation of PHP 4.1.0 or above (but currently NOT PHP 4.2 or above! ARSC will not run with it!). If you are not able to compile a cgi-bin version of PHP or you may not start a socketserver on your machine, ARSC still offers the 'traditional' message handling via the httpd process or even via meta refresh | | Information:: ARSC Really Simple Chat | | Title: | ARSC Really Simple Chat | | Author: | Manuel Kiessling | | Price / Cost: | Free (GPL) | | Platform / OS: | Unix, Linux | | Version: | 1.0.1p1 | | Last Updated: | Thu Aug 29 2002 | | Home Page: | Click to Visit  | | Download: | Click to Download | | Web site Language: | English | | Total Votes: | 3 | | Current Rating: | 4.67 | | Total Hits #: | 1557 | | Listings ID #: | 2205 | | Reviews for ARSC Really Simple Chat |
