live chat form is a form that is very widely used on websites such as online gambling websites, websites for downloading applications, website frequently asked question,etc. this time I will share tutorial how to make a live chat form which connected to database.
- the first step you should do is create a database via MySQL database.
- then create a table, you can create via query, and also through the MySQL GUI.
- type the query below in the SQL column.
CREATE TABLE `widget`.`chat` (
`nama` VARCHAR( 20 ) NOT NULL ,
`email` VARCHAR( 20 ) NOT NULL ,
`komen` VARCHAR( 30 ) NOT NULL ,
`waktu` VARCHAR( 30 ) NOT NULL ,
`chat` VARCHAR( 30 ) NOT NULL
)
- then we will create a form. paste the script below then save it with the name index.php
FULL SCRIPT
<div style="overflow:auto; width:31%; height:321px; margin-left:35%;margin-right:36%;">
<table class="art-article" border="1" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="1" style=" margin: 1; width: 100%;">
<tbody>
<body background="BACK.jpg">
<?php
$Open = mysql_connect("localhost","root","");
if (!$Open){
die ("MySQL E !<br>");
}
$Koneksi = mysql_select_db("widget");
if (!$Koneksi){
die ("DBase E !");
}
$Tampil="SELECT * FROM chat ORDER BY waktu DESC LIMIT 99;";
$query = mysql_query($Tampil);
while ( $hasil = mysql_fetch_array ($query)) {
$komen = stripslashes ($hasil['komen']);
$waktu = stripslashes ($hasil['waktu']);
$nama = stripslashes ($hasil['nama']); ?>
<style type="text/css">
#atas {border-bottom-width: 1px;
border-bottom-style: ridge;
border-bottom-color: #HAC;
margin-right: 1px;
margin-bottom: 2px;
margin-left: 0px;
padding-bottom: 1px;
color: #FFA500;}
#pesan {padding-right: 1px;
padding-left: 0px;
margin-bottom: 10px;
color: #080808;}
.waktu {float: right;
color: #871214;
font-family: Arial;
font-size: 9px;}
</style>
<?php
echo"
<div id='atas'>$hasil[nama]<span class='waktu'>$hasil[waktu]</span></div>
<div id='pesan'>$hasil[komen]</div>";}
?>
</tbody>
</table>
</div><br>
<div style="width:30%; height:320px; margin-left:35%;margin-right:35%;">
<form method="POST" name="chat" action="#" enctype="application/x-www-form-urlencoded"><p>Post your chat:</p><br><p>Name</p><input type="text" placeholder="enter your name" name="nama" maxlength="9" style="width: 95%;"></input><br><br><p>Email</p><input type="text" placeholder=" enter your Email" name="email" maxlength="30" style="width: 95%;"></input><br><br><p>Chat</p><textarea placeholder=" your chat" name="komen" rows="2" cols="40" maxlength="120" style="width: 95%;"></textarea><br><br><input type="checkbox" name="cek" value="cek" class="art-button"> Confirm you are NOT robot</input><br><br><input type="submit" name="submit" value="Send" class="art-button"></input> <input type="reset" name="reset" value="Clear" class="art-button"></input>
<?php
if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
$nama = $_POST['nama'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$komen = $_POST['komen'];
$waktu = date ("Y-m-d, H:i a");
$cek = $_POST['cek'];
if ($_POST['nama']=='Admin') {
?>
<script language="JavaScript">
alert('you are not admin !');
document.location='index.php';
</script>
<?php
mysql_close($Open);
}
if (empty($_POST['nama'])|| empty($_POST['email']) || empty($_POST['komen'])) {
?>
<script language="JavaScript">
alert('data is not complete !');
document.location='index.php';
</script>
<?php
}
if (empty($_POST['cek'])) {
?>
<script language="JavaScript">
alert('Please Checklist - Confirm you are NOT robot !');
document.location='index.php';
</script>
<?php
}
else {
$input_chat = "INSERT INTO chat (nama, email, komen, waktu, cek) VALUES ('$nama', '$email', '$komen', '$waktu', '$cek')";
$query_input =mysql_query($input_chat);
if ($query_input) {?>
<script language="JavaScript">
document.location='index.php';
</script>
<?php
}
else{
echo'Dbase E';}}}
mysql_close($Open);?>
</form>
</div>
- okay, I'll explain the usefulness of the script above.
- this is the part for database connection with php form. customize it with your database name.
mysql_close($Open);
}
if (empty($_POST['nama'])|| empty($_POST['email']) || empty($_POST['komen'])) {
?>
<script language="JavaScript">
alert('data is not complete !');
document.location='index.php';
- then this is the part that serves to display messages that have been stored to the database on the form menngunakan query
select
$Tampil="SELECT * FROM chat ORDER BY waktu DESC LIMIT 99;";
$query = mysql_query($Tampil);
while ( $hasil = mysql_fetch_array ($query)) {
$komen = stripslashes ($hasil['komen']);
$waktu = stripslashes ($hasil['waktu']);
$nama = stripslashes ($hasil['nama']); ?>
- then this is a script that works for the design of the form using CSS script.
<style type="text/css">
#atas {border-bottom-width: 1px;
border-bottom-style: ridge;
border-bottom-color: #CCC;
margin-top: 1px;
margin-right: 1px;
margin-bottom: 2px;
margin-left: 0px;
padding-bottom: 1px;
color: #FFA500;}
#pesan {padding-right: 1px;
padding-left: 0px;
margin-bottom: 10px;
color: #080808;}
.waktu {float: right;
color: #871214;
font-family: Arial;
font-size: 9px;}
</style>
- and this is the part to define the variable and ukurang layout of the form.
<div style="width:30%; height:320px; margin-left:35%;margin-right:35%;">
<form method="POST" name="chat" action="#" enctype="application/x-www-form-urlencoded"><p>Post your chat:</p><br><p>Name</p><input type="text" placeholder="enter your name" name="nama" maxlength="9" style="width: 95%;"></input><br><br><p>Email</p><input type="text" placeholder=" enter your Email" name="email" maxlength="30" style="width: 95%;"></input><br><br><p>Chat</p><textarea placeholder=" your chat" name="komen" rows="2" cols="40" maxlength="120" style="width: 95%;"></textarea><br><br><input type="checkbox" name="cek" value="cek" class="art-button"> Confirm you are NOT robot</input><br><br><input type="submit" name="submit" value="Send" class="art-button"></input> <input type="reset" name="reset" value="Clear" class="art-button"></input>
- do not forget to save the index.php file in the xampp / htdocs / folder_name folder as shown below.
- now we try to run the index.php file
- write the filename in your browser search field as shown below.
- then we try to fill in the form and press the submit button.
- it will look like this.
- then we see whether the chats that have been sent are saved to the database.
Okay, the message has been saved to the database
- Okay, the tutorial has been completed, please try, if there is less understandable can be directly asked in the comments.
