Shoutbox script

[koeno100]

I am making a script to display the shouts that are made on my website in the server.

Currently I'm constantly querying the database where all the shouts are stored, but that would cause a lot of lag since I'm using a timer, and sometimes it skips shouts or doubles shouts.

Is there a way I can for example write a function that when someone shouts something, it triggers a certain function in the LUA script through PHP or something like that?

You can use sockets. Use the socket module and take a look at the irc resource, which makes use of the module, to understand the technique.

Do you know any examples of this kind of script, because I want to do similar stuff
