PHP can only open a file once at a time, if it’s opened now, it will be locked, so that other instances of PHP cannot access the log. If one person sends a text and one second later another person answer – it’s okay, will work. But if there are a bunch of users, it potentially won’t work anymore, if they send messages at the same time. Then the script will work like the “first-come-first-served”-concept, other messages have to wait until the chatlog will be unlocked. It’s a better idea to use a mysql-database, if you want a chat for a larger number of users. But there’s something important to know: This Chat ist _not_ good for a large chatgroups!

Basic means exactly that BASIC !!!! Stop posting negative comments about the tutorial. If it doesn't work for you, then you are doing something wrong. Tutorials by their very definition, invite the user to use their own brains and do some work themselves. If you need a fully functional commercial type chat program then go and buy one and stop your damn winging !
