Is CI 4 comes with real time??

You need to clarify your meaning of real time.

PHP is not suited for real time communication. Use socket.io with their PHP emitter, a Redis server, and a small Node server. Most of your cross talk should happen in JS but if you need to send events from PHP that's the best setup I've found.

i means like socket.io and node js working as real time notifications and chat, but some shared hosting not accept nodejs,


I'm creating the chat using nodejs but, i have shared hosting server that not supported nodejs.
so my question is, Is CI workes like realtime chat or notifications.

You can try using PHP but it will suck compared to sockets. Every language has it's strengths and weaknesses and PHP is simply not good at this.

You know sockets are not a different language ... PHP too "has" sockets. Let me fix that next sentence you wrote:

It's not that PHP can't do it, it's just that there are other tools that make it way easier.

Always a pleasure Narf Smile I meant socketio as I wrote above.

Exactly. Anything you rig up with pure PHP is going to pale in comparison to the same setup with socketio. It's honestly not worth the effort use the right technology for the task.

No, that is exactly the opposite of what I'm saying.

You're equating effort to result, and also comparing a comparatively low-level (it being a language; PHP) server-side technology to a framework that has both server-side and client-side components.

Neither makes sense.
