How can I flash the latest messages given by users, among multiple users, using PHP, just like Twitter tweets works?

Question

像Twitter推文一样，如何使用PHP刷新多个用户之间的用户给出的最新消息？

Answer 1

You need to use AJAX for that one and shown in a common page.

Algo:

1. Send a request to the server to check if there are any updates in (for example) your message_table.
2. If there is, return the newly added message. Send a NONE message if none and return to step 1.

You can also try reading http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comet_(programming) which is an optimized way to do this. Or if not, you can do it with the traditional ajax polling.
