Hey as Nishant says you have two option of REST and SOCKETS . But problems arise in both ajax and sockets. If you want to use sockets than PHP is not suitable for that , I suggest to use socket.io with Node.js or Erlang or Akka with Java or Scala and else if you want to use REST than you can try MySQL + PHP + JavaScript.

I can give you a short rough example of REST with JQuery:- var lstmsg; window.onload=loadchat();function loadchat(){$.post('newmsg.php?lstmsg='+lstmsg,'xml',function(xml){/* here will be the code to handel ajax*/}); setTimeout('loadchat()',5000);}

yeah.. if you want to create a chat application than there are two main options, one is socket programming and another is ajax.....

here is a link for example of socket programming using php

but it is little complicate to understand. I will suggest you to use ajax rather than sockets..
