介绍
聊天应用程序在网上非常常见。开发人员在构建这类应用程序时的选择也很多。这篇文章介绍了如何实现基于PHP-AJAX的聊天应用程序，并且不需要刷新页面就可以发送和接收消息。
核心逻辑
在定义应用程序的核心功能之前，先来看一看聊天应用程序的基本外观，如以下截图所示：
通过聊天窗口底部的输入框输入聊天文本。点击Send按钮，就开始执行函数set_chat_msg。这是一个基于Ajax的函数，因此无需刷新页面就可以将聊天文本发送到服务器。程序在服务器中执行chat_send_ajax.php以及用户名和聊天文本。

var t = setInterval(function(){get_chat_msg()},5000);
get_chat_msg是一个基于Ajax的函数。它执行chat_recv_ajax.php程序以获得来自于数据库表的聊天信息。在 onreadystatechange属性中，另一个JavaScript 函数get_chat_msg_result被连接起来。在返回来自于数据库表中的聊天消息的同时，程序控制进入到 get_chat_msg_result函数。

兴趣点
这段用于实现聊天应用程序的代码非常有意思。它可以改进成为一个完全成熟的HTTP聊天应用程序。创建该应用程序的逻辑也非常简单。即使是初学者理解起来也不会有任何困难。
