A simple chat application written in PHP
and 'JS', which safekeeps the chats by AES encryption.
This was written when I was learning PHP and web development in general. The code may not be secure and may have critical security issues. Use at your own risk(If you are).
- Uses HTML, CSS, JS, and PHP
- Uses JQuery and
AES.js
- It doesnot uses websockets or any other RTC protocols
- Relies on raw HTTP polling for getting messages
- Server does not uses any database, It uses
.txt
files to store chats - It uses
PHP
- Uses
iframe
to show a popup (don't ask why😰) - server uses a
countLines
method to count no. of lines in a chat file, in order to check for new messages - Encryption just works
- and a lot more
This code was written by my younger self in 2019. He was a total beginner and didn't know how to code. It was his first project using 'PHP'.
