can CB enable phpchat/ phpmychat? (in General)

Since rumours float around casting aspersions on all and sundry not privy to javachat; a little birdie squeaked, could it be possible to fit phpchat [or is it phpmychat?] into the CB2 schema?

There's this newbie CB-wannabe game in alpha-testing that's been advertised in the forum quite a bit nowadays, and i logged in once over there, and there was this phpchat thingy in all its glory; so the coding exists, and is reasonably simple as well. The only problem is, can CB-chat co-exist in both the javascript and php script modes, and also if there are any bandwidth issues on this.

Techies, please advice :)

I am asking for this option as lots of people have problems with installing java, so miss out on the chat; while the phpchat module seems to appear without any problems or requirements of installing stuff.

phpchat would be a huge step backwards. not interested.

Java is yours ^_^

"while the phpchat module seems to appear without any problems or requirements of installing stuff."

Chuck, that's because phpchat is mostly server side, while java chat is mostly client side.

basically, my problem is that my win-XP install is from a "slipstreamed CD" meaning my OEM vendor OS has been upgraded with newer downloaded drivers, which causes a conflict with the java install. I guess I'll just have to wait a few more months until I downgrade my install to a Vista ;) when things will become all smooth with Java once again

[seriously, i had installed a trial Vista at first, but the win-xp install does things better and more comfortably, so i'm hanging on to it till i complete some project work]

What driver is so broken that is prevents java from installing?

Also, you can re-enable the Microsoft JVM if you can't get the Sun one to install... or use IBM's.. that's good, too.
