Ray Chat

I have been doing some research and I have found that, using PHP, you can export data from a table into a document. That is, you can tell the script to save the information gathered into a document.

Is it possible to do that "live"? Can you have the script constantly running so as soon as data is input into the database it is automatically exported to a save document?

If that is possible, is it possible to use that same method for keeping record of the data used and stored during chat sessions?

i believe there was a mod released for storing your chat sessions. what you are asking, is possible, dont know how efficiently it would be on your server resources.

I would imagine on heavy traffic sites that it would eat up substantial memory not to mention cause lag. For me, its something to consider.

Do you remember where that mod is available?

I find some coding that calls to TRUNCATE the "messages" table. What are the odds that altering that code (not sure how) will store the data into the table rather than removing it after the message has posted to the chatroom?

expertzzz.com, there may be some on here that have used that mod, dont really recall who even wrote it, but i do remember it being there.

I've searched for it, but was unable to find anything. All I found were other people asking the same question. I only assume the thread fell off.
