hi all,
I am Shermilin, working as a PHP developer. Currently I am working in a project called onlinetraining similar to online tutoring, so we need a whiteboard chat application to be integrated with the website.

Is there anyone to help me. Please suggest me where do I get this code to implement. Any references?

Friends do help me please!


Thanks in advance

Shermilin

That's typically not something that you would do with PHP. PHP is a server side language that processes data before sending it to the client. What you're looking for requires more client->server and server->client connections. I would researching using something like AJAX or Flash and write something that interacts with those technologies. I don't think PHP will do what you're looking for.

Do a bit more search on other whiteboard apps on the market. See what they're written in. You'll probably see a lot of Java, C# and VB as well.

Sorry for the bad news with PHP. However, I could be wrong. Others might know of a way to do this that I can't think of. Take care.

Hey shermilin,

To be honest, I don't know of any free open source whiteboard applications. A lot of companies put a lot of money into their whiteboard apps, and tend to protect them. Just try Google searching 'open source whiteboard' and you might be able to find something. If you do, post it on this thread so everybody else can benefit as well.

Also, if you find any posts on DIC to be helpful, click on the "This post was helpful" button on the post in question. It's a way to say thanks to the poster, and skyhawk (the webmaster), is keeping track of those stats. It's a new feature and really helps to flag helpful and insightful posts. Keep that in mind for any other posts you run into that may have been helpful to you.

Good luck on your search! If I run across anything I'll let you know. Take care.
