I am developing a new php based website and want to include a 1-1 chat functionality within it. Am currently looking at the below 2 options 1. Based on Flash 2. Based on PHP/Ajax
Need help with the following questions. 1. Will I really need a Flash Media server for this requirement? What advantages will an FMS give me over PHP/Ajax 2. Comparing between php/ajax and FMS, will the latter reduce my bandwidth usage?
Any other points I should be aware of before taking this decision?
Thanks in advance
