total noob here

hi, i got interested in trying to make a chatroom using php, so i came across this site.

however, i have no idea on where to start; overview says that i only have to copy/paste a few lines of code, but
i dont even know which file to copy from lol

i have downloaded phpfreechat-1.3.zip already, whats next? i am using windows 7 and xampp, if this helps any.
i appreciate any help, thanks.

when you unzip the phpfreechat, and you upload it to your site (I think it only works server side) extract all the files and go into it. There is a index.php, you need to open this.

Inside that, you have the layout all of that, you will be looking for a simple line of code that says

Code: Select all

 <?php $chat->printChat(); ?>
  <?php if (isset($params["isadmin"]) && $params["isadmin"]) { ?>
    <p style="color:red;font-weight:bold;">Warning: because of "isadmin" parameter, everybody is admin. Please modify this script before using it on production servers !</p>
  <?php } ?>

paste your $params and everyhting inside the

Code: Select all

<?php if (isset($params["isadmin"]) && $params["isadmin"]) { ?>

line, and I deleted this as I dont like the idea of everyone being admin

hope this helps
