PHP/MySQL chat system

Hello all,

I am trying to follow a tutorial here on this site on how to build a php/mysql based chat system.
http://www.devarticles.com/c/a/MySQ...ven-Chat-Script

I can't figure out the php code. I am following the tutorial very precicely, I just think there are some communication issuse between the author and beginner php people. According to the last page of the tutorial, there is supposed to be a link to "Supporting Material" which has the source files. This link is not there. Is this normal for this site? I'm new to devarticles.com all together.

Could someone please help me out? If you know where this source file can be found, that would be great. If you can look at the tutorial and can tell how the .php scipt is actually supposed to be constructed and wouldn't mind helping out, that would be great.

Thx,
Matt

Have you tried contacting the author about this? Everyone who writes an articles on devarticles gets a little bio published (usually with contact details) so you could get in touch and see whats happening. Also every articles has a thread on here to go with it so try doing a search for the article involved and you may find someone has already asked this or similar things which will speed up your progress.

KM: Thanks for your reply.

I failed to mention in my post, I've tried to contact the author - Tim Pabst - with no reply. Also, I searched for a fourm around this article, but was unable to find it. From the articles page, if you click the "DISCUSS" link it takes you right to the devarticles.com default page. Bummer....
