Live Chat & Notification

What is the best way to implement live chat and notification system, any suggestion would be great? Thanks in advance

It is quite a bit of work to make anything decent. There are existing solutions such as https://livehelperchat.com/ et al.

The best way is to implement an existing tried and tested system. I built one myself once but it is harder than it looks :-)

Hey Frank,

It's pretty simple using some other technologies. You can have a pretty decent chat system running with NodeJS, Socket.IO in a few days with some work

Codeigniter is simply one of the tools you need to learn to be a successful developer. Always add more tools to your coding arsenal!
