last posts copied in queue

[strategy]

hey.

i've tried to understand the phpFreeChat code, but is so tricky. i want to make this code:
the idea is to create for each user an queue (array or whatever) with all posts or, i don't know .. last 10 posts at least. and the user can paste them into input bar like it is in mIRC when you hit the up key.

ideas?

Well I would say cut out the middle man, there is not point in hitting the server side data structure. Simply store a client side (JS) que, gradually fill it up as messages are sent and when you reach 10, just shift the array so the oldest one drops off.

This doesn't work between sessions, but does mIRC work that way anyway? It wouldn't seem very helpful to have it work that way. And in this scenario it seems like the extra hits to the server wouldn't be worth it.
