Does anyone know if there is a free script that does the same as human click, live person, etc?

I know of page-based live chats.
There are plenty of tutorials around on how to write one - search on Google.
They tend to hammer the server, though...

james: the new riders php app dev book has a streaming http chat thingy, which is what you're talking about.

matt: no, not refreshing, streaming.

Eh? Refreshing? What?

i assumed you were talking about refresh based chat systems. what were you talking about then?

I thought that the streaming ones were quite heavy on the old server, too?

no, not really

There are quite a few...

The two most popular besides Humanclick or Live Person are PHP Live!, and phpLiveHelper.

Just saw this cal - do you have an extract of it, if not i'll just buy the book.

Hm, strange.

php Live's homepage says "Number One Opensource" - however you have to pay for it.

opensource is not the same as free. opensource (strangely) means the source is open. so you get the source when you buy the product.

still, quite an odd claim to make
