In this tutorial we will learn to create a messenger application from scratch in Core PHP (no framework). Firstly we need User’s signup and login, so we don’t broadcast every message to everyone, we could if we want to, but not in this tutorial.

Now we also need the application to be able to send new messages as well, for that we are using form, to take our message in input field of text type, we are then sending it to the database where the data is fetched by the other user, and show in way explained earlier. For sending message to the other user, we need to export that data to our tbl_messages but we also need to update our tbl_convo in order to update the preview and number of messages, for that purpose the following block of code is used.

and to start chat with the new person we do need to send message as usual as our continuous chat, but for this chat we do need to register a new row in our tbl_convo and how we would achieve that, is this simple.
