Installation
1. Server
Upload "server" folder on your remote server, then open the file Server/config.php and edit these lines for database connection:
$col = 'mysql:host=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX;dbname=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX';
$username = "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX";
$password = "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX";
Then modify the $serverKey variable with a password of your choice (which you will never have to change), this will be used to generate the tokens
$serverKey = 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX';
Now you need to indicate what is your users table and what the id and name columns are called. For example, if your table has this structure:
CREATE TABLE `users` (
`id_user` int(11) NOT NULL,
`username` varchar(255) NOT NULL
);
You will need to modify the $userTable to do this:
$userTable = array(
"name" => "users",
"columns" => array(
"id" => "id_user",
"name" => "username"
)
);
2. Client
Open Client/index.html and Client/test.html and change these line for point to remote php file just uploaded
server: "http://XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX/chat.php",
3. Test
To do a test go to: https://your-site/Client/index.php?user_id=XXXXXX
instead of the X we need to put the user id that we find in the "users" table (in our example).
NOTE: This is an example only and is not safe! We shouldn't be able to see a user's private chats without a login but simply by guessing its user id. To make the example safe, you need to edit the line:
current_user: "<?php require_once("../Server/chat.php"); echo get_token($_GET['user_id']); ?>"
With something like this:
current_user: "<?php require_once("../Server/chat.php"); echo get_token(your_login_function()["id"]); ?>"
NOTE: At the first start some tables will be created in your database
